Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had experience of extending AAF plugin for Rails to implement a broader query ? The documentation and the demo provided on the http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/ wiki seems to only match full text queries, or partial when using a * wildcard.

Hi. I didn''t notice if topic has already been discussed, but I was wondering if there was a way to make ferret match only part of a search term. My initial thought was some sort of filter, but I''m unsure of where to begin. An example in the comments of the acts_as_ferret tutorial at RailsEnvy (http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial) suggests: To return the
