Hi Shah,

In WSS 3.0, the search function is limited.
If you want to implement advanced search options, here are two options for
you:
1. Upgrade WSS 3.0 farm to SharePoint Server 2007.
2. Deploy Search Server 2008 Express which deliver search to your
organization quickly and easily for free.

For more information, please refer to:
Microsoft Search Server 2008 Express
(http://www.microsoft.com/enterprisesearch/en/us/search-server-express.aspx)
Planning and architecture for Search Server 2008
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb905404.aspx)

Hope the information can be helpful.

Sincerely,

How do you make a wildcard search using MSS or MSSX 2008?

Thanks,

Wildcard is not a function of Search Server Express but can be
achieved by using Ontolica Wildcard Search by SurfRay. The SurfRay
website references Ontolica's use for MOSS but it can be deployed to
MSS 2008 and Search Server Express 2008.
