People search - wildcards (SPS2010)
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.

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.

RE: People search - wildcards (SPS2010)
Thanks Maxine, I had actually just opened that page 5 minutes ago. I like the
below comment:
if all you need to do is to add the asterisk to the query, then it's possible
to add it in the confuguration of the federated location you are using. Since
even local searches are routed through the federation layer, as documented
here:
msdn.microsoft.com/.../ee558338.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee558338.aspx
- The search result Web Parts in SharePoint Enterprise Search are built on
top of the federated search object model. - then you can add the asterisk to
the query template of the Local Search Results location, like so:
{searchTerms}* . It seems to me you'll achieve pretty much the same, no
programming needed.

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.
