I don't think people who search for "to" (only) will want to get a match for
"moniTOr" or "auTOmatic". These substring match results also seem useless,
don't they?

I do not expect that doing a (insert search engine name) search for "car" would
give me results for "myoCARditis" - that's completely irrelevant.
Prefix-matches, maybe. Substring and fuzzy string matches, it seems pointless.
