More about the search engine
BlueMind searches:
- for exact words: e.g. BlueMind will look for the word "invitation" in singular.
- ignore accents: "réservation" or "reservation" will return the same results.
You can use "*" in order to find part of a word. E.g.:
- invit*: searches for words starting with "invit", and may return "invited" or "invitation".
- inv*ion: searches for words starting with "in" and finishing with "ion" such as "invitation" or "invention".
The "*" character cannot however be used at the beginning of a string.
In addition, response time for searches using "*" is significantly longer than for plain searches.
