Change % for * in globa searches

[jlabuelo]

Hi all

Just need to know if it is possible somehow to configure sugarcrm to use the star (char " * " ) as a global char for searches instead of using the percentage (Char "%"). Is there any easy way to configure this.

Our users are located in Europe and they are more used to work with the star "*" for searches than "%"... I know it sounds silly but would like to know if it is possible

Thanks a lot

In include\SearchForm\SearchForm2.php you may be able to just find and change the following line:

$like_char = '%';

This will not be upgrade safe though.

Hi thanks a lot for the answer.

I have done what you suggested me and replaced the

 $like_char = '%'; 
  

by

 $like_char = '*'; 
  

in SearchForm2.php. Then I saved the file and restarted the server.

As this did not work and now it does not work with '*' neither `%` I have done the same change in $SearchForm.php

However I still dont get the change to work.

Is there anything like Quick Rebuild I should do after the change??

I am using SugarCE 5.5.1 in Windows and MySQL

Thanks a lot
