Partial People Searching

  Asked By: Luz Blake         Date: Apr 22, 2010      Category: Sharepoint      Views: 295
 

How do we configure people search in sharepoint in such a way that it
searches partial people words also. Right now it only search with
correct name.

For example, if someone's name was "Stafanie" and they searched
for "Stephine", "Stephanie", or "Steph", they were not locating them.

Is there a way we can make it work people search works with partial
words or do we need to build any new webpart for it??

There would need to be something like soundex functionality in the indexing and
search mechanism to make that work  correctly.
