+``search()`` method partial match future deprecation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+Before the ``autocomplete()`` method was introduced, the search method also did partial matching.
+This behaviour is will be deprecated in a future release and you should either switch to the new
+``autocomplete()`` method or pass ``partial_match=False`` into the search method to opt-in to the
+new behaviour. The partial matching in ``search()`` will be completely removed in a future release.
