Description of the need

While using the project installer today, I searched for "dragg", hoping to find the draggable views module. It came up with an empty list.

When I searched for draggable, it found the module.

Proposed solution

Update the search function for projects use partial matches.

Alternatives that have been considered

I don't know the mechanics behind this, but it could help people find projects even if they do not have the exact match.

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, I looked through the issue queue and did not find anything.

I can help with testing of this, let me know how I could help!

Background

This issue was originally opened in the Backdrop Issue queue #5344. Since this search is executed within the Backdropcms.org website, it was recommended to move this issue here for further action.
