Hi, i think there is a bug in the search function. Let me explain:

I have 1 post which contains the word "table" inside the title. When i try to perform a search and type "table" in the search field then i am getting 1 result and this is ok. But when i am typing "tabl" in the search field i am getting no results!!

Why the search looking for entire words only???

 

How can i make it display all results that CONTAINS the letters "tabl" or "tab" ?

 

Thanks in advance.

If you would search for parts of words like "tabl*", the mysql queries would need much more time. Especially if you have bigger data.

This would lead to a server time out, showing up in your browser.

Google "search engines algorithms, performance, implementation" to get more information on this topic.
