Thanks for taking a look at this...appears to be a gap in ODB capability 
but maybe I'm missing something. To clarify...

@Jing Yes I think the lucene results are as "designed" but not as 
"desired". Note that the desired search is like "kansas%" not "%kansas%"

@Riccardo
Yes, prefix, "kansas%", startsWith(searchTerm), etc. type search. Yes, 
search term is variable length.
