Is that *really* necessary ? As far as I know  substring matching inside of
words is 
much more time-consuming at the backend than is matching at the start of a
term.
Maybe we should make this a special case. We could use wildcards to indicate
that 
we really want to do this :

"*pain" or "*pain*" matches "repainted" , "pain" does only match on start of
term.

What if these characters have a meaning ? Maybe we should try to expand
special characters like

"?aneurysm" = "possible anerysm"

Same problem with special characters - maybe we should try to expand them.

Well, now I understand.

Again, we might want to expand them first.
