Re: Using wildcards in fulltext searches

"This is the reason MATCH command allows prefixed wildcards but not postfixed wilcards. Since single words are indexed, a postfix wildcard is impossible to manage in the usual way index does. You can't retrieve '*nited states' instantly from index because left characters are the most important part of index."
