<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Very nice, understandable as well.  Thanks, I was worried about switching from &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SQL&lt;/span&gt; searches to ferret because I couldn&#8217;t find the damn option in ferret to turn on partial word matches.&lt;/p&gt;</content>  </entry>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Sweet! It works great for me.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Luckily I found this, ferret is baffling for not having an option to do partial searches.&lt;/p&gt;</content>  </entry>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I&#8217;ve done similar things with partial search. Also the fact that you can&#8217;t construct this by using query classes but have to use query string is ugly indeed.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&#8217;ve only done partial search on an untokenized field (eg  filename), and the performance seems ok.&lt;/p&gt;</content>  </entry>
