If you want the partial matches, then you will need to either add the stars yourself:
ThinkingSphinx.search "E*" Or, as you've found, use the :star option: ThinkingSphinx.search "E", :star => true The only issue with the second option, is that it will match any e's, because it's actually searching for "*E*". 1.3.14 should be fine with all this, as will the latest TS, 1.3.16. -- Pat On 24/02/2010, at 7:28 PM, nnn wrote: > forgive me , my version is thinking-sphinx (1.3.14) > > On Feb 24, 3:51 pm, Pat Allan <[email protected]> wrote: >> What you're looking for is wildcard >> searching:http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/common_issues.html#wildcards >> >> This will allow you to search using E* and get the Ellie Ford record >> returned. >> >> Cheers >> >> -- >> Pat >> >> On 24/02/2010, at 6:21 PM, nnn wrote: >> >>> First name Last name >>> Edward Kerr >>> Ellie Ford >>> Aaliyah Allen >> >>> -------- >>> I have a model which has data like above. when I search Edward, it >>> search result 'Edward Kerr' column, >>> search Ellie, return 'Ellie Ford' column. ok, it's good! >> >>> but, I input E to search, it give me nothing. so how to make a >>> incompletely word? >> >>> --my indexed--- >>> define_index do >>> indexes [first_name, last_name], :as => :name >>> indexes street_address, city, state, country, postal_code >>> end >>> ------------------------- >> >>> hope somebody insight me. >> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >>> "Thinking Sphinx" group. >>> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >>> [email protected]. >>> For more options, visit this group >>> athttp://groups.google.com/group/thinking-sphinx?hl=en. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Thinking Sphinx" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/thinking-sphinx?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thinking Sphinx" group.
