Full text search is unpredictable [bug] #17

Open processo opened 8 years ago

processo commented 8 years ago

I noticed the search only matches full words. (I tried searching piggydb.jp/en for formatting help and formatt (note the double T) did not yield any results, but formatting did.) This way I can only find fragments whose wording I can exactly remember, which is usually not the case.

Edit: I'm not sure what is going on, because format matches information, but not formatting. Now it seems like a bug, not a missing feature.

I ran into this bug when I was using Piggydb. Actually, I reviewed the source code of Piggydb to try to fix it myself, but eventually I gave it up. That is mostly why I decided to build my own tool of this kind. ( Check out my tool if you have interest - https://github.com/suewonjp/civilizer )

I don't have any purpose of selling my open source project here, but Piggydb has been suspended for a while and looks like the author is busy on another project for a while.

But this kind of tool is necessary for some people and they need support anyway.

I suggest my tool as a possible replacement for those people. That's it.

I also need partial word searching.
