When searching for an author or title, say, Shakespeare, I would often like to
see alphabetically nearby results that do not match -- authors named Shake,
Shale, Shane, etc. (e/g/, centered on the search term).  This is like browsing
a physical shelf in a library.  Doing the same by title is often even more
interesting.  And such search results can be useful even when there is no match
at all for the given term.

The previous software (Millennium, FWIW) at our library system did this, and it
is the feature I miss most now that we have switched to Koha.  If it's in fact
possible to do it in Koha, I'd be grateful to know how; neither I nor our
librarians have had any luck finding such an option.

Just a wish.

Thanks,
Karl
