Many users seems surprised by prefix matching in search leading to unexpected results. Over the years we always would return results starting with a search term and not expect exact matches. Meaning a search for `abra` would find `abracadabra` This introduces the Site Setting `enable_search_prefix_matching` which defaults to true. (behavior unchanged) We plan to experiment on select sites with exact matches to see if the results are less surprising
