Profile Search Requires Wildcard
Using Jamroom
I would recommend reconsidering that - partial word matches are almost never a good solution for search. Think about Google - when I search for "music" do I want the first result to be for "musician"? That's not what the user searched for, nor is "musician" ever a good recommendation for someone search for "music", since they mean 2 different things. This is why I mentioned that in practice this likely will not be an issue for you.
Currently this is how Jamroom Search works - it returns results that it feels are most
relevant. What you are recommending is strictly a string based search, which I guarantee will not get you the results you want. You don't want users searching for "china" and have an article about "brewing the best echinacea tea" be your top result.
Let me know if that helps.
