Hey guys
I am a little bit new to drupal and still somewhat trying to get the hang of it coding wise.
my question is with regard to search module that exist as default in drupal.
for example in our ecommerce site we have a product called xbox. when we search for only part of the word like"xbo" the result does show up for xbox. or if have a product called newspaper , if search for pape , it does not show up in result box. also we tried to use advance search still the result does not show up. we turned up the relevance keyword to 10 now and we still get the same result.

is there a better search module for drupal or is there a way to modify the search hook in search module to do that.

THanks

We have played with Solr, which has seen some recent development by Robert Douglas. It's super easy to install and configure. Sounds like a good fit for you. Read all about it at: http://drupal.org/project/apachesolr

Another search engine we're looking at is Sphinx Search, www.sphinxsearch.org. There is no module for it yet, and if you search for info on drupal about it you will find lots of condescending chatter about how you should be smart enough to implement it yourself. We managed to create a module with some help from another developer in Denmark. We should be able to package this into a module at some point. If you should need the node contact me and I will send it to you. I don't want to post it here until it's cleaned up.
