Description
What should we add?
When searching through variable names, after searching for exact/fuzzy matches, we should try stripping common prefixes suffixes like instrument numbers (_1, _2), units (_m, _cm), and statistics (_min, _max).
May want to emit some kind of warning for those matches though.

Research direction
Start by locating the variable-name search entry point and the code that performs exact and fuzzy matching. Check any existing search tests to understand current match behavior. Done means common suffixes such as instrument numbers, units, and statistics are considered after exact/fuzzy matches, with the warning behavior resolved and covered by tests.
