Drupal's core search module, only searches for keywords, e.g. "sandwich". Can I make it search with a substring e.g. "sandw" and return my sandwich-results?
Maybe there is a plugin that does that?
Can Drupal's search module search for a substring? (Partial Search)
Recently I made a patch for Drupal's core search module to provide it with partial search (aka n-gram searches) ability. This is tested against Drupal 6.15 & 6.16 releases. You might want to read about patching.
On the other hand you can make use of Apache Solr Search Integration, Search Lucene API modules or other 3rd-party search solutions which takes more time to implement.
PorterStemmer module has its own different story in which you might be interested, too.
The most direct module for it is probably Fuzzy Search. I have not tried it. If you have more advanced search needs on a small to medium sized site, Search Lucene API is a fine solution. For a larger site, or truly advanced needs, Solr is the premiere solution.
Yes. Fuzzy Search (module) does it. https://drupal.org/project/fuzzysearch
Drupal Finder does it somehow, namely: it has an autosuggest feature, so if You start typich sand it should suggest You a node containing sandwich.
