The % is enabled at the end by default.
I believe this is wrong for the reasons I commented in the original issue. Plus if you enable % at the start it should also be enabled at the end.
By default the option is disabled!
I think this feature is very useful when searching in a content-rich Joomla website. The option is disabled by default, so existing websites won't be affected. Maybe add a notice to inform website administrators of the slower query?
just use com_search then
