Partial Search Matching
Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2006 7:22 pm
I notice when you use the search function in MyInfo, it only matches on whole words. For example, if a document contains the word "catalog" and I search for "cat", that document won't be included in the search results.
I feel that this behavior should be a user-selectable option. Perhaps have a checkbox next to the search box that says "Include partial matches" or "Search whole words only", etc... Many times, I have been frustrated because I know I have something saved in MyInfo, but I'm unable to find it because I don't remember the exact entire keyword that I would need to search on.
