I implemented MySQL fulltext search and worked perfect.
Now the client wants that partial matches be found by the search, for example the term 'base' should match 'database'.
I know the whole idea of fulltext search is based on word delimiters, and searching for full words.
I know I most likely will have to use an undesirable LIKE '%$term%'
which will ruin the sweetness and performance of the fulltext search.
So, is there any hope?
Thanks in advance.
