I think that SRE and/or Bill Moseley have addressed the
wildcard/stemming issues to some extent.  The fix isn't ideal but I
can't see a better way to do it.  Stemming and wildcards together create
a whole array of strange problems.

Soundex and stemming could be handled more efficiently with some custom
index/search scripts and the filtering code.  Filter the input files
with the stemming/soundex algorithm and build the same code into the
search script.  This would allow you to easily build stemming and
soundex filters for non-English languages.
