match partial words when searching

Description
Currently Yelp only matches complete words when I search in a manual. This can be limiting: for example, today I searched a manual for "pin" and got no results. Only later did I realize that one page included the word "pinned", but Yelp hadn't matched it.
I think Yelp should either (a) perform word stemming so that "pin" matches "pinned", or (b) simply match prefixes of any word. In the case of prefix matching we'd probably want to match 3 characters at a minimum so that, for example, "t" won't result in zillions of matches.
