Searching for partial product words in product title.

Hello David
I'm wondering if it is possible for the search tool to bring back results where the search term is a partial match to a word int he title.
ie. on my Magazine Subscriptions website if I search for the term hazard it comes back with no result however if I search for hazards (note the extra s) it comesback with Chemical Hazards In Industry Magazine and Laboratory Hazards Bulletin Magazine
Would this be possible?
thanks
Mally
Hi Mally,
Yes, this is possible if you revert to using the basic search method for all queries instead of the full text index. The full text index only works on entire words (as you are seeing). To use the basic search for all queries, look for the following code in search.php:
if ($useFullText)...and change this to:
if (FALSE)That will disable the use of the full text index and partial words should then match...
Cheers,
David.
