The FTS5 trigram tokenizer allows matching substrings in general (rather than only complete tokens or prefix tokens), but it does not match substrings shorter than 3 unicode characters. Supporting short tokens is required (e.g. general structure contains mainly short forms like V DO), so if substring matching is desired a different solution than SQLite FTS is needed.

Prefix tokens are supported by the (default) unicode61 tokenizer, which is used now.

The FTS search options are sufficient so far. If needed, partial string matching can be revisited.
