Issues with Substring Search in MkDocs Material

[Nockkk]

Hello,
I am currently working on a website that uses Material for MkDocs, and I am experiencing some issues when searching for a substring using the search plugin.
I have tried this solution "mkdocs/mkdocs#3693", but unfortunately, without success for some specific cases.
Right now, my problem is that I want to search, for example, for this string "TransformXLimit", but using the separator on that task will not work due to it splitting my search due to the case changes.
In other cases, I have prefixes for the text, so for example, the "TransformXLimit" can be typed in the website as "Ax_TransformXLimit" or "Bx_TransformXLimit", and if I search for "TransformXLimit", I can't find it correctly. The only solution I found to search it correctly was to write the string with the prefix directly in the search.
Do you know how I can handle these possible separator issues?

Best regards,
Nuno Araújo

Hello @Nockkk,
I believe that lack of "hyphen" support is still not resolved,

Please read the following references:

• Search: whole phrase like "a-b.log" #6885
• Could search accept hyphens? #5247 (comment)

Since the code related to search is currently stale, if you can't wait any longer for the new search implementation, then you could try to hack the lunr.js / bundle.js with a hook similar to this case, or create a fork of the theme with custom TypeScript implementation.

Thanks for the help @kamilkrzyskow.
Has it isn't a big issue for me, I will be waiting for the #6307 to be fully implemented.
