problem with search results

Hi - I have a problem with my search results. When I do a search for "Tim" - the first result I get back is "Time". Any clue what the problem might be? Thanks.

Wendy,
Thanks for the post. By default, Search Engine will search words that begin with your search term. You can make the search function return only whole words. You simply add a hidden field called whole_word:
<input type="hidden" name="whole_word" value="x">
Change the value of x to one of the following to reflect what you want:
2 = whole word. If you search the word "dry", you won't get a match with "dryer" or "laundry".
1 = beginning word boundary: If you search the word "dry", you will get a match with "dryer", but not "laundry".
Note that "1" is actually the default behavior.
In your case, setting the whole_word field to 2 should do the trick. Let us know if you have any other questions! :)
