Search syntax?
Added by Wes Christensen over 13 years ago
I got some puzzling results from search.
Search for watch, found "watch" and "watcher", but not "swatch".
Search for swatch, found "swatch".
Search for *watch, got zero results.
I also tried it with asterisks on both ends and got zero results.
Search for "watch", got the same results as watch.
Is there a way to search for a string anywhere without respect to words?

So Search has just 3 options:
- #nnn = Find item #nnn.
- xxx = Find words starting with xxx.
- "aaa bbb" = Find items containing either aaa or bbb.
Did I miss any?
It's too bad it's so limited. Aren't there powerful open source search facilities easily available?

PS: It looks like in option #1, #nnn, the "#" is not required. Just "nnn" will jump to item #nnn.
So how do I search for numbers in the text? How can I find all items that contain the number "50"? I tried "50" and was put in advanced search.
