Topic: About search

i think the search function still have space to improve, i search 'hell', but my topic 'hello' is not found
i find that i must search the whole word, i.e. the letters between one space and another space, when there is no space, no result can be outputed
the search is not very useful for other language users, like Chinese, a sentence contain no space, i hope this is be improved in the next version of PunBB........

Re: About search

No, you don't have to "search the whole word". Read the text next to the keyword field. It says "Use the wildcard character * for partial matches.". So, if you want to match hello, you have to search for hell*. This is the way ALL good search engines work.

The search should work fine with chinese. In 1.0.1 I implemented a workaround to enable searches in multibyte characters sets.
