Sorry, I did not mean a wildcard but a middot (·), the mail software seems to have misinterpreted the character. On my wiki, I use middot as a camouflage of ­ in the wikitext to mark silent syllable breaks. This works quite well, but the drawback is: the search engine no longer finds the term.

Can you be more specific about what you need? Is there a specific logic to where the wildcard should be inserted? The general case (finding "example", "*example", "e*xample", "ex*ample", "exa*mple", etc.) would likely be quite expensive. -- Zak Greant (Wikimedia Foundation Contractor) Plans, reports + logs at http://mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Zakgreant Want to talk about the Mediawiki developer docs?
