New Indexing and Search Algorithm

AIP app used to have customized Lucene's SimpleAnalyzer and now with version 7.0.3 is switching to WhitespaceAnalyzer.

SimpleAnalyzer parses texts and makes each word searchable. While whitespace analyzer only divides the text by whitespaces. So searching is slightly different. For example, for text "AB-CD", search term cd* used to match but now you need to *cd* add a trailing wildcard search character.
