I have something that does this in Datasette, extracting it out to `sqlite-utils` makes a lot of sense.

I'm also building something on top of FTS5/sqlite-utils, and the way I decided to handle it was creating a specific function for prefixes. According to [the docs](https://www2.sqlite.org/fts5.html#fts5_prefix_queries), the query can be done in this 2 ways:

```sql
... MATCH '""one two thr"" * '
... MATCH 'one + two + thr*'
```

I thought I could build a query like the first one using this function:

```python
def prefix(query: str):
    return f'""{query}"" *'
```

And then I use the output of that function as the query parameter for the standard `.search()` method in sqlite-utils.

However, my use case is different because I'm the one ""deciding"" when to use a prefix search, not the end user. I also haven't done many tests, but maybe you found that useful. One thing I could think of is checking if the query has an `*` at the end, remove it and build the prefix query using the function above.

This is just for prefix queries, I think having the escaping function is still useful for other use cases.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",831751367,
