TASK DESCRIPTION
User case :
The user is looking for a person and know only their name with initial letter : "H. Bentley". They would like to find all the items containing H* + Bentley, (Henry Bentley, Howard Bentley...), so they type "H Bentley" in the search field.
Currently, the search engine only looks for the exact form, so it only shows the labels with exactly "H Bentley" in it, or no result at all.
Then, the user has to type only "Bentley" then sort the list of results to find the good one.
The user would like to find all the "H* Bentley" results, by typing "H Bentley", or with a special character like "H* Bentley" or "H% Bentley".
Note: the user can also build a SPARQL query with "H% Bentley" but it often results in a timeout.
