Description
TokenEscaper escapes star * => \* which might be okay, but then I need a way to indicate I want to search a TAG type field (not full text) as a prefix... because I want to find foo* items.

Research direction
Start by locating TokenEscaper and tracing how it handles the escaped star in TAG-field queries. Determine how a caller can request a prefix search for values such as foo*, while preserving literal-star escaping elsewhere. Done means TAG searches can express that prefix and return the expected matching items.
