Thread How to do wild cards / LIKE operations on text indexes?
Sat, Nov 18 2006 9:37 PMPermanent Link

Sam Jones
Our experience indicates that doing searches on text indexes only searches for whole words.

We are unable to do things like search for '%acme%'

How can we do this when searching a text index?

Thanks!

You can't. You can do 'acme*'

Roy is correct.  You can use a trailing wildard (*), but not a leading or
embedded wildcrd, with full-text searches.
