Hi,  
I would like to search partial text from all the content's Text and Rich text field using API.  
I am not going to use GraphQL as we are Focusing on Native Mobile  
We are able to search full text using following query  
[fulltext(document,"family")]  
It return all the documents which have Family word. But I want to achieve same thing when user just types fam. Is there any query that I can pass in API which will return me all the documents which has searched key(Partial key like Fam)
