Hi,

Does anyone know if is possible to enhance the searching with catalog so that it searches on part words as well as whole words?

Cheers

Martin

Actinic will automatically check the beginning of the word.

So if the keyword is 'telephone' and someone searches on 'tele' then they will find the word. However, if someone searches on 'phone' then they will not get a match.

Searching is done by SearchScript.pl. As this is a Perl program you get the full source in your Site1 folder.

If you're brave and know Perl (or someone who does - sorry I'm not vounteering on this one) then it shouldn't be impossible to patch it to do as you want. This is, after all, the sort of thing that Perl is excellent at.
