I have a rails app with thinking_sphinx successfully working for indexing/searching. I was, however, wondering if there was a way to get partial work matches to search. Meaning if I have a report with title "Best Report" and I searched "Best" it would return that report.
I'm not sure, but it working this way by default, however you can look into match modes here http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/searching.html
