Same in my project. Chris does mention we can put a ? before the *, so instead of domin*, you can use domin?*, however that requires at least one char following your search string.

Xuesong (?), Thanks a lot for your answer, sorry to have not scan the archives before. This a really good and understandable reason, but sad for my project. Prefix queries will be the main activities of my users (they need to search latin texts, so that domin* is enough to match "dominus" or "domino"). So, I need some more investigations.
