Im not able to find any text strings starting not from the beginning of word in filename or in file content using Windows 7 search.
My Windows 7 search configuration:
Lets say Im searching for a documents containing word content.
Im able to find those documents when searching for content, conte, con (as long as the string includes the beginning of the word).
"content"
"con"
But if I search for ontent, tent or any other combination that doesnt include the beginning of the word, Windows search won't find it.
I've tried other indexing/searching software such as Copernic Desktop search, Google desktop search.
Those programs also werent able to find part of the word starting from the middle of the word. For instance, it finds conte, but doesnt find onte.
Finds conte
Doesnt find onte
I got the same problem using Copernic desktop search.
On the other hand, when I use non-indexing content search software such as Agent Ransack or FileSeek, I get the same results when searching for conte or onte:
conte
onte
Why do all pre-indexing content search applications (Windows search, Google desktop, Copernic desktop search) fail to search for a string inside the words?
Why do non-indexing applications find text strings wherever they are: in the beginning, middle or end of the word?
How can I make Windows search find strings from any part of words?
Thank you.
