[ic] partial match on search results

Hi list!

too often, you only get complaints instead
of compliments, so congrats again on a 
great program! IC rules!

anyways, here's what I want to do: IC will
return a result if the string is PART of the 
matching word, but I also want the opposite,
if PART of the string matches a whole word.

for example in searching for a model number:

this works:
  search for "foo12"
  returns results "foo1245"
                        "foo124"
(as I recall I think this is because of the 
mv_substring_match param)

what I want:
  search for "foo12bar"
  returns results "foo12b"
                        "foo12ba"
                        "foo12bar"

is there a parameter for doing this?  I hope that
makes sense, but with lots of model numbers
sometimes a customer may type in a complete
model number and your item may contain only 
the BASE of the model number.

Thanks,
Aaron
