+\r
+after the current explanation to emphasize this limitation (possibly\r
+blaming Xapian to avoid futile requests).\r
+\r
+I think it is something many would expect (and want). The current\r
+description feels more like an example, and it is easy to make the\r
+assumption that it works for prefixing the terms as well - although,\r
+technically, nothing is promised in the original docs.\r
