I have the word "scubadiver" in my keywords cell and when I search for 'scu' or 'scuba' or 'scubadiver' I get a result... but if I search for 'diver' or 'dive' or 'cuba' I get nothing
SELECT * FROM wishes WHERE (CONTAINS(keywords, '"div*"') OR CONTAINS(description, '"div*"') OR CONTAINS(title, '"div*"')) AND countrys_id = 1
How would I fix this... I have also tried
SELECT * FROM wishes WHERE (CONTAINS(keywords, '"*div*"') OR CONTAINS(description, '"*div*"') OR CONTAINS(title, '"*div*"')) AND countrys_id = 1

Try creating another field on the table where the column data is stored in reverse. Create a full text index on this reversed column to get like '%div' or 'div%' ability. Check this link for creating the reverse field (you could define a trigger to update this new field on updates) http://www.sqlservercentra
With this you should be able to use '"vid*"' on the reversed column to get the desired results.
