Question : Full Text search syntax "Burn after reading"

Hello

I am trying to allow a user to search any part of a word in an existing title (say a movie title) and get the corresponding rows. But full text search doesn't seem to behave the way I expected.

For instance one of my rows contains: "Burn After Reading (2008)"

The following will return a list including this result:
... WHERE CONTAINS([ColName], ' "burn" AND "reading"');
and so will the following:
... WHERE CONTAINS([ColName], ' "*burn*" AND "*readin*"');
... WHERE CONTAINS([ColName], ' "burn after"');


My problem is that the following will not return anything:
... WHERE CONTAINS([ColName], ' "*burn*" AND "*eadin*"');
nor will this return anything:
... WHERE CONTAINS([ColName], ' "*burn*" AND "*after*"');

I tried some other combinations with not much more success:
... WHERE CONTAINS([ColName], ' "*burn after*"');

What I am wondering is what I should do to allow user the search any part of any word contained in my full text index (whether the words start, end or include the keyword in the middle)? Obviously I can not know in advance if what the user typed is meant to be a full word or a part of a word only.

thanks in advance
Charles
