I'd posted this earlier in the group managers forum and it was suggested that I try it here as well as it was apparently a subject for discussion a few months ago - any chance the search function will be expanded to include partial words?
" We've just started transferring our groups from yahoo and have been very pleased so far with both the results and Mark's support. However, I discovered something a bit puzzling today. I was searching for a person whose last name was Holbrooks and, when I enter that entire name, all his records came up. However, if I just enter Holbrook (without the "s" at the end), it doesn't find any of his records. That seems very peculiar to me! What am I missing? Or perhaps I was spoiled in yahoo where I could enter a truncated version of a name and it would find all entries containing that sequence of letters?"
