XnView Software

Search word automatically as *word*

Example - If I want to find word 'sun' I must type '*sun*' (many people even don't know about it and might think it don't works)

A good suggestion. I think implicit wildcards are pretty standard and almost expected by the user. So it would be good if XnView would use wildcards by default, too.

Though I wonder whether you also need the possibility to do an exact search (which is the current behaviour in XnView 1.74), if so there should be a setting in the search dialog.

Ok, i'll add implicit wildcards.
