I was looking for the 3963 Space Positioning Rockets on the lugnet guide,

rocket (singular of rockets) but that didn't bring back a match.  Is there a
way to get the lugnet search function to bring back 99% similar matches like

By default, Partsref does full-word matches (as you noticed).  You can
get around this by tagging one, some or all of your search terms with
asterisks (*).  In this case, you might have searched for 'rocket*'.

There is a brief help page for Partsref,
<http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/help/>.  Unfortunately, there are no
links to it from other pages. :\
