With Ht://Dig this is called "prefix matching". However, you need to
tell
htsearch that the expression is used for prefix search. By default this
is done by typing "some*" (which then should result in something,
somewhat etc).

thank you. I didn't understand what this term meant in htsearch's context.
Turns out that prefix is not a value for our search_algorithm parameter-yet.
Any suggestions on what weight I should assign? We have:
search_algorithm: exact:1 synonyms:0.5 endings:0.1
For more information, refer to the documentation:
