Hi (Jerome and the other guys),

I just installed Foxtrot Pro for indexing directories on my Qnap NAS and it
does work well so far, but there is one big problem I have.

Foxtrot only finds files when I enter the whole word in the search bar,
e.g.:

"jacke" doesn't find files that include the text "jacket".

Is there an option in the settings for enabling this?

Thank you
Marvin

Yes, you can search for jacke*, or *cket, or *acke*
