You can append it in your middleware, or try the EdgeNGramTokenizer [1]. If you're going for the latter, don't forget to reindex and expect a larger index.

Also, are there any common filters and such that are generally considered a good practice to throw into the schema for an English-language website? Thanks, Mike
