We used to do prefix and infix search, but the amount of value provided was not huge. It also really blows out your indexes / indexing time. I'd like to add this back at some point, but we're not there yet.
As for supporting equimatch using quotes -- its actually not too hard to do this. Just wanted to ship early and iterate rather than expend too much effort getting it perfect.
A plan violently executed today is always better than a perfect plan executed weeks in the future. But thanks for the feedback -- these are important search items that need to be addressed.
If I search for ‘iness’ and you return ‘Business’ I wonder what your index look like. If it is what I think, you are going the wrong way rantfoil. This will be very time consuming if you are doing it from scratch; it is worth looking at Sphinx as thorax suggested or any open source.
