Suffix searching
A specialised type of substring search. A suffix search involves matching of a term in a query string to indexed terms, with an explicit wildcard character at the start of the query term. A match occurs when the characters in the query term (minus the wildcard character) match the ending of an indexed term. For example, the query string *ion will match ion, lion, and version. Search Kit supports suffix searching in inverted and inverted-vector indexes. See also search, wildcard character.
