    The Autocompleter uses wildcards around the search phrase while the search results page after clicking “Search” does not.

    Typing “Italia” in the Search fields polulates the Autocomplete list with results for *italia*
    After clicking the “Search” Button the page lists only entries that begin with “Italia”, basically searching for italia*

    How can I make sure the search results includes wildcards just as the Autocompleter: *italia*

    Thanks!

    The search will identify listings that have the search keywords anywhere in the title/description/tags/categories.

    Can you share an example search URL that is missing a listing?
    And then a link to the listing that is missing?

    From that we should be able to figure out what is happening and advise about getting that listing into a query result.

    Ah, ok, thank you for the example to clear up what you are after.

    We have a task open for ‘stemming’ to provide better results for partial words or word combinations.

    I have set your topic to receive an update about progress on that.]
