Gabriel Ambuehl	Tuesday 16 August 2005 1:51:30 am I once tried this. Only thing I can say for sure isn't very straight forward. It might be easier to write your own module to search through the index... Visit http://triligon.org

Gabriel Ambuehl	Tuesday 16 August 2005 4:24:01 am Well you could try. I gave up after an hour trying to figure out how exactly the search works. I might try again when I really need it. (Someone mentioned that while adding like to queries might work, the functions that format the results could become confused by multiple returns) Visit http://triligon.org
K259	Tuesday 16 August 2005 4:25:55 am I really need it, heeeelp :p Hmm..is this so complicated in ez...do I have to rewrite the total searchengine to achieve this?
David Eriksson	Tuesday 16 August 2005 4:38:42 am Turn on wildcards? http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/configuration_files/site_ini/searchsettings/enablewildcard /David
K259	Tuesday 16 August 2005 4:59:14 am No, don't want to turn on this feature, just want to enable that the user searches in %searchtext% and not has to type the exactly searchword..
Gabriel Ambuehl	Tuesday 16 August 2005 5:27:12 am Oh, I wasn't aware of the wildcard feature. What you could probably do: use Javascript or patch the beginning of the search code to change the query to "searchword". I wasnt aware of the wildcard searching feature, that is sweet!

K259	Tuesday 16 August 2005 5:38:13 am It's not sweet when you have lots of users who are searching with the wildcards ....it may make your mysql-db crash..because ez starts to many not so very optimized sql-queries and too many sql queries.. So be careful..
jb bianchi	Wednesday 17 August 2005 1:45:26 am hi, In the advancedsearch, we can do the search with : seach text or phrasesearchtext but not with AnywordSearchText. Do you know what I have to do to search any words.
