Prefix free doesn't seem to search parts of a word #4

So wait returns results for waiting as well (probably due to stemming) but waiti returns nothing. Shouldn't it return results with waiting too? I can fix it, but I wanted to ask in case I misunderstood something.

It's because stemming happens when the word is inserted in the tree. So instead "waiting" never gets inserted in the tree at all, just "wait". Could you go ahead and just get rid of stemming for insertions and searches into a trie (prefix and suffix)?

Will do!
