Perhaps support regex search? Russ Cox did a write up of how he implemented regex search for Google Code, back when that was a thing.

Yes I have looked at that. The catch is it would require another copy of the index, and I don't quite want to front the cash for that.

I did write some code which would turn a regex query into a normal sphinx query some time ago so I am going to try to implement that again and hopefully get similar results.
