For my full text search systems, which have a web interface, I have one "field" for required words, one for additional words and I assume they want to do a wild card search, but I have a check box for doing exact matches. If the users wants to search on phrases, they enclose the words in quotes. I have to do some parsing to translate what the user entered to the right syntax, but it works pretty well.
I got my "interface" ideas from the Google Advanced Search interface.

Can someone please tell me if my problem with the punctuation in a fulltext search is a bug or limitation? Ultimately the users of the system i built do not want to have to try using the + search then trying the * search for all the words which will obviouslly return a lot of results, is there a work around please let me know thanks.
