by std convention of search, though, if you put the word in double quotes, it should search for exact match only. so if i ask for "musa" it should not give me musaxxx or xxxmusa, which i would get if i did not use quotes.
i should get only ' musa', ' musa ', 'musa '. because when you have a gigantic database - too many related entries are pulled unnecessarily, it's a waste of time and resources.
and when i am sure about the word i am searching for - i should be able to go just to it.
this is where the star * is usually used. i saw a prev post about implementing *, by dave. it could really streamline things. so you can do *musa or musa* or *musa* to indicate what you're looking for.
anyways, just a lil' wishful here.
