| Summary: | Add support for wildcard as the first character |
| Description: | Add in support for searches that have a wildcard as the first character. I have no idea how this is going to work out as someone may type to search *a* and expect results for that, which I believe isn't really possible with our current system without unbelievable load. |
| Additional Info: | Perhaps just do a regular MySQL query that isn't cached for those types of searches and limit them to logged in users of a certain group level? |

| I would like to request this, as well. My suggestion for the "*a*" problem is to do searches for "*a" and "a*" at first, until you figure out an efficent way to do both at the same time. |

| Reverse index perhaps would allow us to search and use the results returned and search the remaining tags? Maybe not, but it's worth investigation later on this year. |

| I don't know if this is relevant to the search mechanics of Gelbooru's search function, but take a gander at this.
