Improve the search feature
 

Is there any way (without downloading a modification) to improve the search feature that vbulletin uses? For example, if I search for "Kirb" no results will be found for "Kirby." I would like partial parts of the work to return results.

EDIT: I guess what I am asking is if the wildcard feature can be done automatically instead of the members having to put a "*" at the end of the search query.

Anyone?

Am I posting this in the wrong spot or something?

You are asking if you can somehow add a wildcard to the end automatically but without doing a modification. If you can't do any sort of modification, then there is no way to automatically add a * at the end of the search. You would need to modify the code to do that (but you say you don't want to).

I said I didn't want to download a modification. I have no problem modifying a page I just don't which one to edit. Would something like this work?

Maybe. Try it on your test site and see.

Any luck with this? I can't find anything anywhere for v4.x or anything besides old versions of VB and it would be really useful.
