If you searched for ear* then this would match anything starting with
those three letters, including things that you saw.
You can cut back on the number of prefix matches with max_prefix_matches:
<http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#max_prefix_matches>
Note that cutting back on the number of matches doesn't mean they'll
be any better--it'll just pick the first X matches. If you want
endings that roughly match a language, you'll want the endings
algorithm.
