Search users/communities/feeds with wildcards

[trixtah]

Title:
Search users/communities/feeds with wildcards

Area:
Search

Summary:
Allow wildcard searching of usernames/communities/feed titles and any other similar items

Description:
Sometimes I am unsure of the spelling of a particular username, but I'm certain about elements of it. If I search for "trix", I only find user Trix. It'd be nice for people to find me (for example) with a search like "trix*".

This suggestion might also help the difficulty people have finding RSS feeds without attempting to syndicate a specific feed again. It'd similarly be useful for finding communities and perhaps interests.
