Search containing partial words does not work #31

Closed vinithrasp closed 9 years ago

vinithrasp commented 9 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the zim file - wikipedia_en_ray_charles_03_2013.zim in Kiwix 0.9
  2. Confirm generation of Index
  3. In the Search box, Start typing 'Sou'

The following options starting with 'Soul' get displayed Soul Brothers Soul Meeting Soul Brothers Soul Meeting Containing Sou

  1. Select the option 'Containing Sou'

Actual output: No result were found for Sou

Expected: Search should Titles that contain the text 'Sou' which includes Soul , Sour etc.

the index is already big, so i am not sure if this is a good idea. did wildcards (*) as well not work? see here for some additional information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5786338/document-search-on-partial-words

I have tried Wildcards (*) and they do not seem to work either.

The last suggestion "containing Sou' refers to the Kiwix fulltext search feature. This fulltext search is different from the suggestions system and needs the creation of a fulltext index.

You bug report is right, a result should be display with all the articles containing the word "sous". You probably don't have a result because there was no fulltext index created for this content. You might create one with the menu entry "tools > create index".

So, what I have done, is that I have removed this suggestion entry "containing..." if no fulltext search engine is created/available. You can check this with one of the last nightly builds: http://download.kiwix.org/bin/nightly/

Thank you very much for your pertinent bug report.
