in thread Creating an index on a string-collection

I can understand that oophoroepilepsy matches against oophoro* (with the '*' wildcard at the end), but how does otomyces match against *otomy (with the '*' wildcard at the beginning)?

Shouldn't '*otomy' (and '*botomy', for that matter) match against something like 'phlebotomy'?

What is the significance of the position of the wildcard character in the search string?
