Subject: Fulltext search -- no wildcards in phrases?


> It appears to me that fulltext phrase searches cannot include wildcards.
> For example, I would expect "app* serv*" to match "application server,"
> "application services," etc.  But it returns no results, so I'm having to
> run each variation separately.  Can anyone confirm that wildcards, indeed,
> can't be used in phrase searches.  I'm doing these in Boolean mode because I
