wildcard characters and thesaurus entries

I have a few keyword searches that the company wants to return several results, but currently they are fit only on 1 result.
So for example, if a user is looking for the part number 123, they want it back 1234, 12345, 12346, 12347 12348, etc.. But it is only part 1234.

Is an entry in the thesaurus of the best way to handle something like that? Is it possible to trigger a generic search using a thesaurus entry? Because a search of 123 * returns the greater part of what is wanted.

Ah yes, I thought you meant, you can configure an entry in dictionary of synonyms for 123--> 1234, 1235, etc.. To answer your question - No. If you want to do something like that, you would set up the merchandising rules (assuming you want the company to be able to configure it) and have the web application check the ENEQueryResults for a rule with generic = box and repeat the search as a wildcard.
