Prefix and suffix search options
From 2 comments

How availability is determined

How search works and whether a word like amortize can be added
From 1 comment
Not sure how the search works. I searched for 'amortize', 'amortization' etc. because I am looking to host a script that generates amortization schedule. Nothing returned.
