    No results with partial word search

    Hello,

    I've got no results if I search with a part of a word. Example: I find nothing if I search with hell and if I search with hell* I found the word hello. I can't find something in the options to fix this.

    I hope that someone can help me.

    This is normal behaviour. If you search for "cat", then you don't generally want results for "catalogue", "application" nor "location".

    The behaviour you want will just confuse your users who are expecting more Google like, exact word matching, behaviour.

    But if you really really want it, you can turn in on from the Languages tab, check the box, "Substring match for all searches".
