Release 2 now available! Wildcard Search Version 1.0 Release 2

This new version of the Wildcard Search control adds support for passing a scope to the query using the standard 'S' URL parameter. It also adds a new property FixedFullTextSqlQuery which can be used to specify a static Full Text Sql Query.

Project Description
Finally, a dropin solution for wildcard searching using MOSS Enterprise Search. This web part simply replaces your existing CoreResultsWebPart in your search center. This is not a complete search center replacement like other wildcard search solutions. This allows you to configure your results screen and use all of the existing search web parts with it.

Hi
We have installed the wildcard search web part on our sharepoint server. However, while trying to add the webpart to the search page, it gives the following error.

"Unable to add selected web part(s).

Wildcardsearch Core Results Web Part (DotnetMafia.com): could not load file or assembly
"DotnetMafia.office.Server.WildCardSearch,version=1.0.0,Culture="neutral" or one of its dependencies. Accesss is denied"

Could You please suggest on how to resolve the above issue.

Thanks,
Uma.

This error can be caused by any number of issues and the troubleshooting is similar to that of receiving this error with any web part. I would start by making sure that all of the Enterprise Site Collection features are enabled. Also, please be aware that this web part only works with MOSS and not WSS. If you are still having issues, try to activate the feature, and then go check the latest log file in your LOGS folder in your 12 hive. This should shed more light on the issue you are having. You might also confirm that the DotnetMafia.Office.Server.WildCardSearch.dll got deployed to your bin folder. I also noticed the namespace isn't capitalized properly in your error message. I went back and confirmed that all the paths were correct. If you still have issues, please let me know. Also let me know if you are using full or partial trust. Thanks.
