Text search with partial sentence matching

[Alex]

Is it possible to allow partial match of a sentence? For example, if I search for 'ice cream', also get the results for 'ice' and 'cream' (i.e. "ice OR cream")

So far I couldn't get any straightforward way to do it.

Thanks!

That depends on the search backed you're using. Watson's behaviour is to try to make all backends behave close to word-based search, rather than phrase-based search, since that's what most naive users would expect, and can be supported on all backends.

If you want behaviour beyond this, I'd recommend choosing the Postgres backend, then looking through the Watson source for a way to bolt your functionality on.

I tried to use Postgres backend but it seems it does not work with Heroku (Heroku does not like make_plpgsql function).

Thank you anyways :)
