Research direction

Start by locating the search entry point and how Bichon builds Tantivy queries; the issue does not name files or tests. Check Tantivy’s wildcard and regex query support, then trace how search terms reach the index. Done means searches such as xyz* can find terms with varying suffixes and the behavior is covered by tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

It would be a great enhancement, when searching with wildchars like "xyz*" or maybe as regex "xyz.*" would be possible. Currently you must exact know what and in which form a word is written. I think, there a less people who remember exactly what was written F.e. was it "license nr" or "licensenumber" or "licensenr". AFAIK the Tantivy store is able to search for regex/wildchars.
