We have developed a website using Drupal which has a 'Search' box available on all pages. If we have an identifier 'ABC123' for a hosted document, I would like to have our visitors be able to search by entering '123' in the search box having all documents with '123' in their identifier listed. Right now, this does not work, visitors are required to know the exact identifier (i.e. 'ABC123') in order to have a document found.

Can someone provide guidance as to how we can do partial searches? Can we use '*' or '%' (as in Microsoft Word, PPT) to search? Anything else?

Thank you!
