rifle predicate anchors tokens to beginning-of-word

[Tokubara]

For example, I cannot search this entry with "rd".

***** word
word

But I can search this entry with "word".

I haven't find the description of this behavior in the documentation.

The issue is that tokens passed to the rifle/smart predicate are anchored to the beginning of a word:

org-ql/org-ql.el

Line 1642 in eb53773

(list :regexp (rx-to-string `(seq bow (or ,@(mapcar (lambda (s) `(regexp ,s)) regexps))))

So they can match parts of a word, but only at the beginning of one.

I don't recall why I added the bow there. It was probably for a reason, but maybe it's not necessary.

If you like, we could make a branch without that anchoring and you could test it for a while and let me know if you experience any problems. Then if it seems to work well, it could be changed in the next version.

What do you think? Thanks.

I think it would be great if we could modify this behavior because for non-English content, like Chinese, it doesn't have the natural word segmentation like English, which can cause non-English queries to miss results. My current level of elisp is naive, and there are many syntaxes that I don't understand. I will try to understand the code in the next few days to see how to modify it. Thank you for your reply!
