Search by full words is unsuitable for fast typers

[nus-se-script]

The current search uses full words to find companies. However, this causes inconvenience to the user if the company's name is extremely long (as there is no limit to the name length). Consider using prefix search to speed up the searching process.

Team's Response

Given a long company name such as Chicken nugget mcdonalds, users can simply type one word of the company to find the it, e.g: find chicken. Hence, it is not limiting the users. Also, it is unlikely to have companies with names that are extremely long like 1000 characters long.

Furthermore, it is because the application is targeted at fast typists that searching by full word is an option the group has decided on.
