how do I make the form web part return partial matches?i.e. if I search for "x" it will return every word that has an "x" in(box, xerox, fox, xxx, xbox, etc)if you can point me to a web page that would be helpful as well ...
well, no thanks to any of you guys ... i figured it out myself ...
Can you point me to the right direction?
sure ..basically you have to add your list as a data view ...then make sure the filter (on the data view) is set to "contains [inputparameter]" for the field you want to search (that is the trick togetting it to give back results for partial matches) ...then you set your web part connection from your form web part ...it is explained a little better here (with screen shots) ...www.wssdemo.com/Pages/Search.aspx?menu=Articles ... if thecorrect article doesn't come up click on "Search a List without SQL"
you are welcome dave ...let us know how it works out ..
