Description
Hello,
I have an issue using __startswith filter and ElasticSearch backend for the following search string with __startswith :
Req1. : "Paris 02"
Req2. : "Paris 0"
The first query returns a result whereas the second doesn't. Does anyone understand the magic behind the __startswith filter ? Normally a shorter equivalent search term should at least return the same amount of result, no ?
Thank you for your answer.

Research direction
Reproduce the two __startswith searches, "Paris 02" and "Paris 0", using the Elasticsearch backend and compare their results. Trace how the filter is translated for each query; done means the behavior is explained and the shorter prefix returns the expected matching results or the limitation is documented.
