The TYPOlight search engine that could be improved to search within words instead of searching for full words. Here are a few examples:

1. Searching the TL site for 'typolight' yields 105 results.
2. Searching the TL site for 'typo' yields no results. (http://www.contao.org/search.html?keywords=typo&query_type=and)
3. Searching the TL site for '**typo**' yields 105 results. (http://www.contao.org/search.html?keywords=**typo**&query_type=and)

Automatically adding a wildcard before and after each word yields much better search results since it searches within words instead of for full words.
