Hi,
I have noticed that in the Lucene Search substrings are not found.
E.g. The word 'Wallpapers' is on a page.
When I search for 'wallpaper', 0 is found. The same when I search for
'wall'.
When I search for 'wall*' or 'wallpaper*', the page is found. But this
is not very inuitive for the user. The user would never think about
using an asterisk.
I agree it's not intuitive. So far we've used Lucene as is.
I think using something like Compass could also help.
See http://www.compass-project.org/ and more specifically:
"Compass simplifies common usage patterns of Lucene such as google-
style search"
Please feel free to create a jira issue at http://jira.xwiki.org

Can this behavior be changed?
Thanks
