Search only at the beginning of a word

Post by Tester »

For my needs typing letters into the search box should produce as search results only words which begin with these letters. But I assume that other users may have different needs. So I do not dare to suggest this as a general principle.

But please consider to create an option so that search takes place only at the beginning of a word and not somewhere in between it (at least for searching in Titles).

Here is an example:

Currently when searching for the word nation I will get as results also:
- alternation
- combination
- consternation
- coordination
- declination
- determination
- donation
- international
- multinational
etc.

When searching for a specific term all these results are undesired.

You can find an example for such an option e.g. in "AzzCardfile" (http://www.azzcardfile.biz/). The option is called there "Match start of Title".

Thank you.
