Google doesn't need to do this because even if the page you're looking for doesn't use the word "duplicating", there probably will be several other pages linking to it with text that does. (For example, the Demoroniser page is the #1 Google result for "demoronizer", despite that spelling occurring nowhere in the page.)

Malone doesn't, and will never, have that kind of massive synonym generation, so we need to use bruter force in generating the results people are looking for. That includes searching for substrings by default, just like Bugzilla and Trac do. (Today, for example, I unsuccessfully searched Malone for "subscri" to find bugs about subscribing/subscriptions.)
