You would need to boost your "startswith" matches artificially for the desired behavior. I would do it this way -
1. Create a KeywordTokenized field with n-gram filter. 2. Create a Whitespace tokenized field with n-gram flter. 3. Search on both the fields, boost matches for #1 over #2. Hope this helps.
