    Backoffice search only matching whole words? (4.5 vs. 4.0.x)

    I've recently noticed that the auto-complete search (the one in the top right) in 4.5 is only matching on whole words (e.g.: Entering 'Boo' won't match a node with 'Books' in the title).

    I've loaded my old 4.0.4.2, and confirmed that that version will match partial words - Is there a config setting I can flick over somewhere?

    Thanks.

    The backoffice search will do partial matches if you use the wildcard (*) operation from what I recall.

    Nope, it seems the search in the Umbraco 4.5 backend only searches for whole words, not partial words. The wildcard (*) doesn't work. And it's also not possible to search for specific ID's anymore (at least not like before), e.g.:

    Id:1234

    So being able to search the media library is a big improvement, but the lack of wildcard and id-based searches is a step back.
