Implement better wildcard queries for non-wildcard-specific operations (Contains, StartsWith, EndsWith)

[aweber1]

Sitecore.ContentSearch.ElasticSearchProvider.Linq.ElasticSearchQueryMapper.HandleContains(), HandleStartsWith(), HandleEndsWith()

According to ES docs, wildcard queries do not scale well with large indexes. Googling around for alternate solutions alludes to using n-gram analyzers and regular term queries.

The question is, how to implement such analyzing and querying so that it works "out of the box" as opposed to having to tweak field maps/storage settings?

Probably an easy way to accomplish this, but I'm experiencing search overload. (search is complicated!)
