Thanks for your post, Maurice.
Unfortunately the question is still unanswered.
The issue is not wildcards or no wildcards.
The problem - which I also experienced and could not fix jet - occurs when
the user only enters a substring without knowing the full word.
In WikiPedia you will find "Timesheets" by searching for
"Time","Times",
"Timesheet" or the full word "Timesheets"
In the MediaWiki default installation it does not work:
Only searching for "Timesheets" (i.e. the exact phrase) will return a hit.
The question of Thomas was
What must I do to get this work as it does in Wikipedia?
And so is mine!
Best regards
Thank you for your time and help.

No regular expressions or wildcards
You cannot use regular expressions or wildcards such as ? or *. If you don't
know what that is, don't worry about it. To search for pages with the words
"boat" or "boats" search like this: "boat or boats".

Hello,
I have read all mediawiki pages, that talk about searching in mediawiki.
Can you tell me how to enable a substring-search in mediawiki 1.5rc4?
When i write in the search box "austin" , then the software found the word,
but when i write
"austi*", the last character replace to a wildcard, then the software found
nothing.
The Database MYSQL 4.1.13 find the string in the searchindex table (tested
with my own select). I have checked the
query with logging and in the query is no wildcard. The searchengine has
delete the wildcard .
In the software of Wikipedia is working correct.
What must i do, then the software is working correct?
Thank you for your time and help.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Kind regards
