Bug Description

We're currently highlighting complete strings based on whether they are the best string. The design specifies that if we have a match of the characters the user is typing we should highlight those letters. So for instance:

  Search: compose mes

Currently returns:

  Results: <b>compose</b> <b>message</b>

And it should return:

  Results: <b>compose</b> <b>mes</b>sage

This is aimed at helping the user connect their typing with what they are being shown.
