Return query in search results V4

[Antoine71]

Hello everyone, 

I'm new to SharePoint and I have a question. I have V4 search bar connected to a V4 search results, when i search for the name of a file/folder in the search bar, for example the folder "cat", if I only type "ca" in the bar, then the "cat" folder does not appear in the search results. How could I make it so that, like if I type "c"  in the search bar, all folder/files containing or staring with "c" appear in the search results ?

Thanks.

@Antoine71 Try using * wild character like: 

ca*

It works! I added in the query model : {inputQueryText}* and it find everything . Thanks you ! I have another question. If my file is named for example : "parameters motor variations", when i type " para varia" in the search bar, it doesnt find anything. Is there a way to get results based on "keyword" ?

I don't think you will be able to search with "incomplete" works to match with file names. 

@DaveMehr365 can confirm it.
