So if he is looking for "book" as name he can search ook, boo, o, …how can i do this?I can't use *, the problem is:Note: You cannot use a * or ? symbol as the first character of a searchat the moment i us

Why are you even trying to do that?
Why don't you simply let the user input the * if he want's to?

When we were putting together some of the searches in share we used wildcards at the front. We found it to be confusing.

lets say we have 5 documents and cm:name are:
- 20090102_Project1-test-1.0
- 20090102_Project1-test-1.2
- 20090102_Project2-test-1.0
- 20090102_Project1-test-2.0
- 20090102_Project3-test-1.0

if the user want to find all documents of project1, he will search on project1. that's why i use * at the front. But now sometimes alfresco find results and sometime he can't find any document…
(not with the same search-input)

so is there another solution or other wild card for this problem?

I think i found the problem, i can use *, but i can't enter the character - in my searchField.

Is this possible? And how can i make it work with - ?
