Add Stemming or wildcard to SharePoint Search

Out of the box SharePoint does not provide wildcard or partial word search. If you want this to happen you have to either buy a third party product or add items to the search thesaurus for the language you are using.

You can learn how to do this here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289652

When you configure these thesaurus files, you can specify synonyms for words so that the Search feature automatically replaces words in a query with other words that you specify.
