improved serach capabilities

Has anyone improved the search capabilites in sugar with an installable module. I want to improve them but also want the improvement to be fully upgradable.
Thanks in advance.

What kinds of improvments are you looking for?

One I really want to see is full text searches on content for example contacts description and notes contents and subjects. This applies to any user entered data. MySQL provides full text indexes MyISAM tables. and provides a scoreing mechinisim to rate the kewords matching score. Not sure on Oracle but I am sure it could be made to do full text indexing.

I noticed that sugar searches the database like this 'SearchString%'. I want to change it to this atleast '%SearchString%' is there any way to do this in an extendable way so that it will not be overwritten or broken when an upgrade is made.

Yes - just type a '%' at the beginnig of your search query
