Thanks Paul, Prashanth

Not the answer I was looking for :)  I'll keep looking though, and if I do find 
a way, I'll let you know :)

LOL. I just went through the same thing here.

Choices: dumb down search, or get your Luddite user base to learn something new?

What makes it so funny is that none of these Boolean or wildcard operators are 
new. Other search engines have had them in place for decades, much to the 
delight of tech-savvy surfers who use them in order to retrieve a far better 
result set.

The worse thing Google ever did was to dumb it all down.

Hi all

In SharePoint 2010, you can search for people using wildcards if you put an 
asterisk at the end of the string.

Does anyone know of a way to have the people search use wildcards as default, 
without actually typing in an asterisk? That is how our  current solution in 
MOSS works, and we'd prefer not having to re-train everyone to type asterisks.
