I'm also building something on top of FTS5/sqlite-utils, and the way I decided to handle it was creating a specific function for prefixes. According to [the docs](https://www2.sqlite.org/fts5.html#fts5_prefix_queries), the query can be done in this 2 ways:\r\n\r\n```sql\r\n... MATCH '\"one two thr\" * '\r\n... MATCH 'one + two + thr*'\r\n```\r\n\r\nI thought I could build a query like the first one using this function:\r\n\r\n```python\r\ndef prefix(query: str):\r\n    return f'\"{query}\" *'\r\n```\r\n\r\nAnd then I use the output of that function as the query parameter for the standard `.search()` method in sqlite-utils.\r\n\r\nHowever, my use case is different because I'm the one \"deciding\" when to use a prefix search, not the end user. I also haven't done many tests, but maybe you found that useful. One thing I could think of is checking if the query has an `*` at the end, remove it and build the prefix query using the function above.\r\n\r\nThis is just for prefix queries, I think having the escaping function is still useful for other use cases.", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 831751367, "label": "Escaping FTS search strings"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}
