Hello,
I have read all mediawiki pages, that talk about searching in mediawiki.
So I hope this is no RFTM.
Can you tell me how to enable a true substring- fulltext-search in mediawiki 1.4.8?
I have switched from another wiki to mediawiki and find it disappointing, that only complete matching words are found inside of a page.
I hope I don't have to switch to another searchengine, i.e. LuceneSearch, which would introduce even more problems.
Thank you for your time and help.
Regards, Richard

Thanks for this posting - I am facing the same Problem! Initially I thougth that this is related to MySQL settings that restrict pattern matches to >=4 as default setting to keep search performance high. Then I found out, that also for longer substrings this does not work! I would very apreciate if there is a solution for this! Thanks in advance Wolfgang
