autosearch, find by substring

1

I want to make autosearch for my application using OSM. What I expect to get a list of locations which match substring of (i.e.) street in specific city. I've found tool called Nominatim which works with OSM maps but it expect whole names, and when I tested it with a substrings it doesn't return any results.

Do you know if there is a tool which I could use for it?

https://photon.komoot.io/ uses Nominatim generated data and allows autocomplete/autosuggest/type-ahead.

For more software search for 'autocomplete' on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Search_engines
