I am looking to enhance search in my MW install such that someone searching
for some of the common abbreviations below would find a page with the fully
word in its title.
E.g. I might have a page called Billy Bob Junior¹ but my users might type
Billy Bob Jr¹. I would want the Jr to match as well as the other words.
Is there any manner of allowing this type of search.
I am starting also to look at Lucene and wondered if anyone has experience
of the performance differential I might expect.
Common abbreviations I am dealing with.
Gdns would find Gardens
Nth would find North
Jr or Sr would find Junior or Senior
St would find Saint
Many thanks,
Paul
