New features and improvements

You can add the optional search-wildcard attribute to the search-facet directive to specify whether Appkit performs a wildcard search within facet names and, if it does, how it attaches the wildcard character(s) to the terms that users enter. A wildcard character matches zero or more characters where it is placed. For example, computer* would match the facets computers and computer accessories. This wildcard is often represented as an asterisk (*). The search-wildcard attribute can have these values:
ValueDescription
leftAdds a wildcard prefix to facet search terms, for example, term (entered) becomes *term (used to search).
rightAdds a wildcard suffix to facet search terms, for example, term (entered) becomes term* (used to search).
both (default)Adds both a wildcard prefix and suffix to facet search terms, for example, term (entered) becomes *term* (used to search).
noneAdds no wildcard to facet search terms (exact match).
