Fulltext search?
 

Maybe I am misunderstanding what the fulltext search is doing but we have a forum running 3.8.4 and search works* kind of.

Say a post contains the word 'template'

If a user searches for 'plate' they won't get any results* but if they search for 'template' they will. Does the fulltext search only return results if they match exactly for the whole word? What I mean is it won't find results for part of the word?

I tried using '*plate' but that didn't work either.

Is this the way search is supposed to function or do I have something configured wrong?

Thanks

Eric
