Filter doesn't find pages unless they start with the term

This may be a bug or a feature request.
The Find wiki article widget is not able to find articles unless the title starts with the term you enter. It should work the same as in xenforo where filters work no matter where in the result the search term is.
For example if we have a wiki titled 'my-favorite-wiki' then entering 'favorite' as a search term should return this wiki.

The current intended design of this function is to only return results with titles that start with the input in the live drop-down results. If additional results are desired, it is necessary to submit and perform a full search. If you enter 'favorite' and press enter, 'my-favorite-wiki' would be returned as a result.

As far as I can tell, this is working correctly, so this has been moved to a feature request.

Does VW support XenForo Enhanced Search ? (elasticSearch)

XenForo Enhanced Search will return wiki-related results. Due to limitations in the enhanced search design, some individual advanced-search filters may not work in XenForo 1.x.

I know that for my installation, XF Enhanced Search (elasticsearch) does NOT index anything in VW. I would love to have it do so, and would love to get any pointers on how to get VW content on my site included in the indexing.....

@gerryvz, this information seems to conflict with your earlier report and elasticsearch stats here: https://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/5983/
The image (no longer available) stated that certain metadata, which relates only to specific advanced filters, was not indexed, but the wiki content and most other filters WERE indexed. Has the situation changed on your site since that report (potentially since installing RC2)? If so, you might want to follow up with the new stats.

It would be nice if the Find a Wiki search function would find wiki articles that do not start with the term and if ElasticSearch can be used to this end. Naturally for XF2.
