Hi,
We got some negative reports about putting this operator first in the list. Concerns are about performance (wildcard being slower, and in case of monster tables, slower meant > 45 min.).
Before those reports, I was finding that putting LIKE '%...%' first was quite useful, as I almost always put the % manually for any search I do.
I suggest for the next -rc to put back LIKE in the first position, followed by LIKE %...%.
We could also move the list of operators from tbl_select.php to config, but this would probably be too much.
Comments?

Did those guys have a fulltext index on that field? I'd bet they didn't... MySQL is faster than this, even on large tables.

Personally, I like placing wildcards inside my search phrase myself. That's why I never missed that feature... :-)

Fine for me.

Yes, this is an overkill, imho.
