contents with partial matches, but not the files themselves. This is a
step backward from XP.


That's odd, partial file name searches work perfectly here in WDS 4. To
enable others to reproduce what you see, please give details. Include
your version of Windows and your version of Windows Desktop Search. Also
include the text of a query that fails, and an example file name that
cannot be found. Also, are you searching indexed locations? Where are
you running the search from (Win Explorer, start menu, or search-ms
dialog)?
