Partial Search in Drupal Core

Problem/Motivation

Search is working, but I noticed that it doesn't pick up on partial words. For example, if you search on 'quake' you would expect to get back results containing the term 'earthquakes' but there are no results.

This behavior is also the case with plurals: Searching on 'engineer' when a node only includes 'engineers' will not return that node in the results. It is pretty standard searching behaviour for people to omit plurals and expect to see them in results. For example, searching on 'engineer' should return:

engineers
engineering
engineer's

Proposed resolution

Implement N-Gram searches, see comment #56

Remaining tasks

Decide if this belongs in core or contrib, see comments #81 and #93

Needs tests
The change is currently missing an automated test that fails when run with the original code, and succeeds when the bug has been fixed.

Needs change record
A change record needs to be drafted before an issue is committed. Note: Change records used to be called change notifications.

Needs product manager review
It is used to alert the product manager core committer(s) that an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the "user experience" of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. If an issue significantly affects the usability of Drupal, use Needs usability review instead (see the governance policy draft for more information).

I've created a MR with the patch from #188 and a simple test for part of the changes. I couldn't figure out how to test the "argument" and "filter" view plugins that were also modified.

We also have to decide if the N-Gram solution is finally discarded in favour of this simple solution, and if this solution should be configurable (I believe it should be)
