fts

Hello,

I'm trying to build a facebook like search for my software. I'd like to query the table customers. I've set up a FULLTEXT Index and tried the next query

SELECT * FROM Customer where CONTAINS(*,'*ann*')

The query does return all the customers named Ann, but it doesn't return all the customers name Anne. Is there a way to create prefix search on SQL SERVER 2008 using FTS?

Thanks.
