Hi!

I want to do a search-as-you-type and I want to get a random set from query.

At the moment the results are progressive from index. Using search term `a` the results are `aa, aaa, aab, aba...`. But I want results like `at, am, aa, ar, aau,...`.

**How can I accomplish this results? Any idea?**
