gmail partial word search

gmail partial word search

Gmail is one of the best email portal that I have used, but today I when I was trying to dig out an email from my archive, I  was surprised (infact shocked) to know that it does not support partial word search. I googled to find if that is the case and I am sorry to say that even google support forum did have this question asked so many times, whether gmail supports partial word search and the answer was NO. I even tried advanced search in gmail and that also did not have the solution to the problem of partial word search in gmail. If anyone of you finds a workaround of doing a partial word search in gmail then please post your comments.

I have to set a auto response to some emails with a particular sub string in the subject.
