Ferret talk - Feb 2007 - wildcard fields

Hey all,

is there a way to wildcard field searches? As in:

- a document like {:title => ''foo'', :description1 =>
''bar'',
:description2 => ''bar2''}

I''d search:

index.search("description*: search query")

I understand the example above is silly, but it''s enough to make the
question understandable  :-)

Thanks.

no, its not possible, however, you can of course combine these queries,
like searching for:

description1|description2: search query
