Looks like you are looking for auto-suggest/complete feature. As the user types something there will be ajax suggestions right? Queries A* or C* are not sorted by score/relevance. Can you explain in more detail what do you mean by "search on "A*" or "C*" I get matches but not in the context of the above query"
