Subject: Re: Excerpts still not working on partial matches?

Hi Pat,

I wasn't using wildcards, because I want it to return partial matches
without the user typing "*" (especially with autocomplete). So I only
set:
 :min_infix_len =3D> 1

After adding
  :enable_star =3D> 1
all search results have excerpts, so that's good.

As a workaround, I can simply add "*" to all search queries in the
controller so the user doesn't have to type "*".

Thanks,

Sjors
