Search module does not wildcards searches,

please, help with any kind of solution (patch / advise, how to edit code / comented part of the code where someone only would uncoment it / etc...)

Now, this is very messy situation, especially for some languages (e.g languages with declension as Czech)
- probably not necessary to point out, that searches in those languages (and without possibility of very good stemming) is valueless!

Here on forum very often offered Apache Solr is not usable on usual shared hostings (especially in my country despite the fact, that here are a lot of hosting companies)

Acuia Search is not very good solution - in first, themselvs discourages from using this type of remote service.
In second, it suffers by usual problems of remote services, as well as e.g. embed google search - what I had considered either, but rejected by (simetime wild) "javascriptness" behaviour.

I suppose, that change to the search.module will be relatively simple, won't?
For me there would be sufficient even partial solution - I am able to edit code to slithly change the behavior - but am not to study all the code with all its dependencies...

...thanky

Have you taken a look at this forum question? It seems to be somewhat related to your question.

Apache Solr is another good, but extensive and complicated-to-setup method of doing this. The Porter-Stemmer module is a module which implements the Porter stemming algorithm to improve English-language searching with the Drupal built-in Search module.

You may like to try asking on the forum for support, or on IRC. Here's a list of places you can find support.
The core issues queue isn't really a good place to ask for help.

Thanks,

so I will ask comunity for help too, but I think, that simple really-fulltext search is a must for a project like Drupal, so I stand on letting this issue in a queue (or for search.module or for another - as you want)

You mention Porter-stemmer and Solr (and forum thread, what is all about Solr too) - as I wrote initially, they are not options.
