MailArchive search not returning full results.

Some global searches in the MailArchive do not seem to be returning full results. As an example, if I search for the string "5285bis" in my local repository, I get lots of hits with the last one on Nov 2, 2016. When I type that into the search field on the MailArchive landing page, I get exactly one hit, dated Aug 13, 2015.

(BTW, the ticket tool will not let me enter the MailArchive version number. I think it only knows about data tracker versions.)

Turns out the missing emails are not there when I browse by date, either. Maybe the recent reindexing did not catch everything?

I found the missing messages with a different search string. So it seems to be a search issue. Searching on "5285" finds things, but "5285-bis" and "5285bis" (both of which exist in some of the messages) does not.

It looks as if most related messages contain the term "rfc5285" not "5285", there is no implicit partial matching. Searching on "rfc5285" returns 223 results, "rfc5285-bis" 62 results.

Please consider this an enhancement request then, assuming a similar ticket does not already exist. I suspect that I am not the only person to be confused by the lack of partial-matching.
