Re: [Lxr-general] Wildcards in general search

[Adrian I. <adr...@ho...>]

Hi Heikki,

In the general search I believe the search term is given straight to  
the underlying indexer, which in your case is Swish-e. Hence, the best  
place to look for documentation on searching is their website (http://swish-e.org/docs/swish-search.html 
).

It suggests that * would solve your problem as that matches zero or  
more characters. Their example shows it in quotes so that might also  
be needed.

Hope that helps,
Adrian
