searchterm: foo should match foo and foobar

searchterm: "foo" should only match foo

I tried LuceneSearch and SphinxSearch so far, but I couldn't get any of these to behave like google. foo will only match foo, and foo* will match foo and foobar.

Lucene does this, with one minor alteration: foo* (with an asterix) matches foo & foobar. "foo" does only match foo.

See Wikipedia's Help:Searching.
