- Has anyone tried the old truncation symbol lately? I was giving a demo last
- week and wanted to show the "No Keyword Entries Found" screen. To my surprise,
- when I typed 'k=iron$', I got hits! It seems that the dollar sign is just
- ignored because my search retrieved items with the word 'iron' but not items
- with the term 'ironia' or irons. Have I missed some documentation recently?
- We are using 5.0.2. Could someone else try this at their site?
