Wildcards with pre- and suffixes

Post by velevi »

Is there a way to make wildcards in the middle of a search word work properly?

Right now if a search query like "lymph*ic" is entered, apart from getting matches with "lymphocytic" and "lymphoblastic", pages conaining "lymphoma statistic" also come up. Can we just limit the wildcard to search just a word with the specific pattern. I would like to stay away from Regular Expressions since that would be far too advanced for the regular user visiting a site.

Thank you!

Sorry, the answer is no for now. Some future version will change that.
