There is an issue with highlighting when searched with wildcard as below:

• former* media -> Working fine (both the keywords are getting Highlighted)
• forme* media -> Working fine (both the keywords are getting Highlighted)
• football* shift -> only shift is getting Highlighted.
• footbal* shift -> Working fine (both the keywords are getting Highlighted)

Can you please help me with resolving this issue.
