[BUG] Search only considers whole word matches, but cannot be substring of a word #1581

Describe the bug

No documents are returned that contain the search string as a substring. Eg. if I have a document called "Taxfile" and search for "Tax", the document is not returned

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: See above

Expected behavior Documents containing the string as a substring should be returned. If that is not desirable, there should be at least an option.

Relevant information

Running latest version with docker / podman

Hi,

It should work, if you use the wildcard char * e.g Tax* or *Tax*.

Forceu commented 2 years ago

Ah I didn't realise that you have to use a wildcard now. I think it used to be differently? It would be nice to have an option to change between these modes

This should be added to the user documentation
