Description

Search results should reveal all nodes with title partially matching the search text. "Partial match" in this case means that
exact searched text is contained within node title.

Couple of examples:

if user searches by "5025" then file document "brother_005025.pdf" should be returned as part of search results.
if user searches by "4998" then document "brother_004998.pdf" should to be in search results.

Currently (as of 3.0.1) searches 1. and 2. do not yield any search results.

Info:

Papermerge Version: 3.0.1

All I needed to do is perform inexact queries with "*" in search bar i.e. search by "*5025" and "*4998". Feature was already there, was just not documented.
