package_autocomplete only find packages that start with the given search query

[metaodi]

The current implementation of package_autocomplete looks like that:

like_q = u"%s%%" % q

So only packages that start with the given string will be returned.
I expected something like %searchterm%' to get better results. E.g. format_autocomplete uses this format as well.

Or was this intentional?

I merged this and then reverted it when wardi pointed out that it doesn't have the right type of index. As punishment I'll make it work with Solr tomorrow and send a PR. Sorry again.

I don't think this action is used anywhere in core CKAN at the moment, maybe we should consider deprecating it instead of updating it?

@metaodi if you use this action and want it to behave differently why not add it to your own extension?

[metaodi]

@wardi Ah sure I can put it in my extension, I just thought this was a bug. I'm fine with deprecating it.
