Release 3 of the Wildcard Search Web Part is now available.  This minor update fixes a user reported issue where the scope property was not being used.  If you are new to the blog, the Wildcard Search web part allows a user to do partial word queries with Enterprise Search (i.e.: searching for red, returns results matching redmond, redding, and red).  Please continue to report bug on the CodePlex site.  Thanks again for everyone's input. 

Also, don't forget the SharePint meetup, this Thursday at Crawpappy's at 6pm.
