Comments on: SharePoint can have Wildcard searching… http://www.novolocus.com/2009/05/27/sharepoint-can-have-wildcard-searching/ Whatever I'm working on, really...

There is a Codeplex project to provide that, so it's available for free - but understand that you'll lose some bits of out of the box functionality too. See the third bullet point above.

They are insisting that wldcard searches be available for free... we have implemented for them prefix wildcard search but they also need suffix and infix wildcards.

Also, as Jeremy linked here (http://www.novolocus.com/2008/05/29/sharepoint-search-doesnt-have-wildcard-searching/), it did seem that there were problems with getting support for Ontolica. I'd heard/read as much elsewhere. I don't know if that was just one reseller - I note that the site you are from also selling Ontolica, so if the support problems have been dealt with, then great!
