Search results shown for term: "90s"

SUMMARY

The searches for splashes is hard to use since it doesn't seem to match partial words. For example, if I type 90, then a splash mentioning "90s" in its title won't show up. When i type "skeleton", a splash that I know exists on store.kde.org with a skeleton doesn't show up. Whatever keywords I try show almost nothing, probably due to this bug.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Search "90s". You'll see one result show up.
2. Search "90". You'll see the result no longer show up.

OBSERVED RESULT

Partial word matches don't seem to work.

EXPECTED RESULT

Partial word matches work, because otherwise it's almost impossible to find anything.
