The search returns not only variants of the same word, but also words starting with the requested word about django-watson HOT 3 CLOSED

According to this (#134) issue, you need to set WATSON_BACKEND = "watson.backends.PostgresLegacySearchBackend". However, the interpreter tells me django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Could not find a class named 'watson.backends' in 'PostgresLegacySearchBackend' and indeed I don't see it in the file.
Is such an elementary option as switching between enabling and disabling search using postfix not implemented in the app?

I had to create a CustomPostgresSearchBackend class in my application by removing just one asterisk. Not a beautiful implementation and a lot of redundancy. Please describe this problem in the documentation to reduce the headache of users in the future.

You had to subclass a 147 LOC class and override a 7 LOC method to change from a prefix-matching behaviour to a word-stemming behavior, creating a working solution within a day. I'm sorry this isn't beautiful to you, and resulted in a headache.

This is totally on me. I wrote the code 11 years ago when I was considerably less experienced, and have been maintaining it in my limited free time ever since. Be assured that when I charge for my work, I hold myself to considerably higher standards.
