Can anyone point me to the relevant code that supports the search feature?
Or explain to me how it is done?
Thanks in advance!

What's the best way to search Wikidata for
items whose name or alias
matches a string? The search available via pywikibot seems to only find a
match if the search string is a prefix of an item's name or alias, so
searching for "Bush" does not return any of the the George Bush items. I
don't want to use a SPARQL query with a regex, since I expect that to be
slow.
The search box on the Wikidata pages is closer to what I want. Is there
a good way to call this via an API?
Ideally, I'd like to be able to specify a language and also a set of
types, but I can do that once I've identified candidates based on a simple
match with a query string.
