Search works "Match Whole Word Only" #444

Hi,

I have bookmarked https://bmark.us. So the title Bookie is saved in database. When I use search with "Book" keyword, no result is returned. If I use "Bookie" as keyword, I have the results.

I did not look up source code yet but is this an expected functionality? If it is, is there any way to modify search functionality?

Cheers

Any feedback on this please?

Sorry for the delay. Yes, this is the currently expected functionality. The fulltext search can be setup to do some root work analysis, but it's not going to know Book as a root for Bookie as it would something like search for searching.

This can be changed by changing how the text is indexed in Bookie. The file here defines a schema for Whoosh to tell it what type of data to index and how to index it:

We'd have to look into doing some ngram indexing to support your query.
