Search with automatic wildcard???

[pmquist]

I have tried to search for information about if it is possible to have an automatic addon of wildcards for the non-advanced search in vBulletin. What I mean is that i would like the not advanced search to always search for everything where the search phrase is included. Not an exact match.
I found some really old postings about this, but nothing that could help me out to solve the problem.
Is this an old issue that is solved and I just cant figure out how to do? Or is it something where there is an addon to buy?

I want this too, where can I find the template? It's gotta be simple but I don't know where to add the * to in the templates.

Still interested? I made a "quick and dirty" fix for it:
DIR/vb/search/criteria.php

around Line 1120 replace

PHP Code:

$words[] = array('word' => $token, 'joiner' => $token_joiner); 


with

PHP Code:

$words[] = array('word' => '*' . $token . '*', 'joiner' => $token_joiner); 


This adds wildcards to every keyword token.
