    Hi, I’m new to TapForms, using it on my iPhone 5S.
    Now, here is the problem: when I search for s part of a word that is not the beginning of the word, I do not get the expected results.
    It’s kind of a german language problem with our long and combined words. I have the word “Lauchspaghetti” (spaghetti with certain sauce) in a title and when I search for “spaghetti” to find sll my different pasta dishes Tapforms would not show the Lauchspaghetti (or any other combined spaghetti word).
    Re-build search index does not change it. When I search for “Lauch”, ie the beginning of the whole word, it is found.
    Any help? This is really annoying.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Astrid,

    I’m sorry but the Full Text Search engine only supports searching for text at the beginning of words. It won’t search in the middle of words unfortunately. So I’m bound by that restriction.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
