 It seems Omega doesn't support wildcard search. So I feature request to
 add it.

 ps. Or it is unusable/not effective to be used? As I understand wildcarded
 word searched not by prefix, but first searched in (other) database by
 prefix, then query expanded to 23456 words which are ORed and searched
 again in main database. (This to my ignorant non-IR-scientific view looks
 strange. Why not just search by prefix in the first place?)
