This PR removes a trailing
*
symbol from the FTS queries.The last search word is treated as a prefix with a trailing star symbol. Due to this, queries like "1" can look up all words starting with this prefix (numbers in this example). As a result, the query can attempt to fetch many millions of rows from the database, and fetching and ordering all those rows can take a very long time. The query result, in that case, can include a large number of irrelevant results.
Removing the trailing
*
symbol produces higher-quality search results and speeds up some queries up to two orders of magnitude. Without trailing*
symbols, non-exact matches are still included in the query result, as the FTS query performs stemming.
