[Koha] Koha - searches in 3.2 require asterisk at end to be successful

[Linda Culberson]

  I had already run rebuild_zebra.pl <http://rebuild_zebra.pl>  with the 
-v and didn't see anything but did it again, just to be sure.  No 
errors.  The /var/log/koha also wasn't helpful and the 
koha-zebradaemon.err and koha-zebradaemon-output.log were empty.

Finally it occurred to me that I had turned off |QueryAutoTruncate |in 
the preferences because our staff and our researchers had requested 
that. (They hate getting irrelevant results)  But turning it back on 
fixed the problem of needing the asterisk for every search term - but of 
course it means that I will probably get a lot of complaints.
