Sharepoint search function

I'm a little confused about this freetext statement. i have a sharepoint site
that was modified a little bit and now, the search fucntion will only display
results for items that are spelt correctly. I notice in the fetchlistresults
(stored procedure) that some statements contain "containstable" but even
after changing this to "freetexttable", it still does not work? How is this
possible? I thought sharepoint would display results as long as the closly
match the search term.

It will find different variations of words - so for instance it will find
word and words or it will find look and looking. But it won't find wrongly
spelt words however close.

Does that cover your question?

Engelbert,
After playing with it and paying close attention to what i was reading :-) i
realized this was the case (thanks for explaining it also).. So my question
is what can be done to enable the search function recongnize incorrect words
or maybe even partial words? is this possible? I've done searches and all i
keep coming up with is how to add boolean search but nothing on incorrect
words/partial..

Any help/clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I doubt it as you need a completely different search engine I'd imagine.
