Wildcard (*) in every searches

Hi, all

Since my forum is for Thai people we have to use wildcard (*) for better search result because we are using two byte fonts. However, most of the members always forget to include wildcard (*) and end up complaints for poor search result.

So, I was wondering whether it's possible to modify some files to including wildcard (*) for every searches. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

edit search.php, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
  $query=trim($query);

after that add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (substr($query, 0, 1)!="*") {$query='*'.$query;} 

if (substr($query, -1)!="*") {$query=$query.'*';}

Thanks again.

Do you think this piece of code would allow for wildcard searches unless quotes are used? I haven't tried it and have never done any php programming, just some C. Feedback welcome before I starting hacking away... :D

Code:

if ((substr($query, 0, 1)!="*" && substr($query, 0, 1)!="\""))

   {

   $query='*'.$query;

   } 

if ((substr($query, -1)!="*" && (substr($query, -1)!="\"")) 

   {

   $query=$query.'*';

   }

I tried the original suggestion on vb3, beta7 but couldn't find the same query line. I found one similar that looked like it was checking if there were any html codes in the query. I put the lines after that one, but still no results. :confused:

We really badly need auto wildcarding on our board. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
