    I would like to be able to search listings for partial strings. For example, if the listing contains the words national holiday. I would like to have it show up in search results for nation, and day, and even holi for example search strings.

    Is this possible?

    That is what it does by default, is it not?

    Not at all.

    Search : moto for Moriomoto or lace for Feris Palace

    If what I am requesting works then Moriomoto or Feris Palace would show up on their respective searches.

    Thank you for assisting me @guust. You are amazing.

    Thank you GeoDirectory team!

    Seems to work only if you start from the beginning.
    Mor works but orimoto does not.
    But the autocompleter picks it up.

    Hello Guust:

    So then is this considered a bug? It is important for orimoto to also work in my use case. There will be possibly hundreds or thousands of search results and it is important that the results are searchable in this way for my use case and I am sure many others. I would suspect many people think it works this way but have only tested the Mori but not the moto so they presume it works.

    If this is a bug ? What is the time do you think before it can be fixed? If not a bug, could you please add a feature to allow me to select search all content for matches not just beginning of content strings?

    Thank you very much Guust!

    Hello,

    We have some improvements for search in the roadmap.

    I have taken this up as a suggestion and will share it with our development team to see whether we can work on this in the near future.

    Please feel free to make a new topic if you need help with anything else.
