HalfSmartSearch

[dhcmega]

Hi!
I think the smart search is very useful for searching. The problem is that starting the search string with % skips indexes.
I would like to have a second method, like this:

        if ($this->config->isSmartSearch()) {
            $keyword = "%$keyword%";
        }

        if ($this->config->isHalfSmartSearch()) {
            $keyword = "$keyword%";
        }

Is it possible without changing code? Will I have to override too many things?

The idea makes sense and is possible. Maybe not halfSmartSearch but startsWithSearch search?

Will try to implement this when I got the chance, but if you can, please do not hesitate to submit a PR. Thanks!

Sure, thank you! I'm testing it and works perfectly.
I will keep testing during the day.
Thanks again.
