Thanks Galen, Changing the setting for QueryAutoTruncate helped, all the others were already set as you advised. Glad it's solved!

One thing to try would be adjusting several system preferences related to Zebra searching: QueryWeightFields - turn ON for relevancy ranking, in particular to rank hits in the title field more highly QueryFuzzy - turn OFF to disable fuzzy queries, which will make search results more precise at the cost of making it unforgiving of typos in search strings QueryAutoTruncate - turn OFF to have searches not left-truncate; tradeoff is that users would have to manually append an asterisk to truncate. For example, they would have to enter "car*" to get results for both "car" and "cars".
