title: Search using StartsWith in Azure Search
body: <p>I have scenario where I have to search the Vendors using Vendor Names using Azure Search. For Example Below is the List Of Vendors.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Infosys Technologies Limited</li>
  <li>Infosys BPM Limited</li>
  <li>Infor Solution</li>
  <li>Infosys Corporate Technologies</li>
  <li>Dell Computers</li>
  <li>First Infosystems</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>My Search Scenario is </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>when Searchtext is <strong>Info</strong> it should return 1,2,3,4</li>
  <li>when Searchtext is <strong>Infosys</strong> it should return 1,2,4</li>
  <li>when Searchtext is <strong>Infosys Tech</strong> it should return only 1 not 4</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I also tried keyword analyzer on Vendor Name Field  and it also does not give the result I expected. Basically I want the searchtext to search from start of the Vendor Name field(startswith) and not on each word(Standard.Lucene Analyzer searches on every word) of Vendor Name Separately. </p>
  
  <p>Can You Please Help me in this case on how to frame my query.</p>
