Album name search not fully working

[j2k]

The installation version of Chevereto is 3.6.9

My album name is in non-english language, no spaces between characters/words.

When entering some keywords in various length in the search box, I can't find the "album name" I'm looking for.

But only when I enter the full "album name", the single result shows up.

Is there something I need to setup in order for the keyword search for album name to work?

I also did another test using album name "Testing albums".

Searches using:

test -> no match
testing -> match
album -> no match
albums -> match
testing albums -> match

Please advise.

Search is limited to how fulltext searches works.

So "test" won't ever get "testing". Sad but true.

Is there any solution to this?

Since my "album name" is a one liner without space separation in non-english.

Is this a limitation in mySQL?

Thanks.

Is a limitation of fulltext searches based on your table engine. Usually Chevereto uses innodb but fulltext works better with MyIsam. Note that in newer mysql versions myisam works almost the same as innodb.
