title: search any string in list with wildcard
body: <p>I have this piece of code</p>
  
  <pre><code>for j in range(length_termlist):    
      searchterm=''.join(termlist[j])    
      if any(searchterm in s for s in text[k]):
          do something
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>termlist is a list that contains my search terms. These i want to find in the second list (text) which contains multiple sentences. This works so far but the accuracy isn't good enough, because it finds any string combination. Now I rather would like to find the search term and a wildcard at the end for considering plural.</p>
  
  <p>Example for code now: search term "car" is detected in word "carry".</p>
  
  <p>How it should be: search term "car" is only detected in words "car", "cars" ..."car?" or something like that.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any easy addition to my code above or is another search method necessary? </p>
  
  <p>Edit: Aim in general is to find texts where the search terms appear. A little variance (ex. plural) helps to identify more text with same semantic context.</p>
