Why doesn't Google offer partial search? Is it because the index would be too large?

Google/GMail/etc. doesn't offer partial or prefix search (e.g. stuff*) though it could be very useful. Often I don't find a mail in GMail, because I don't remember the exact expression. I know there is stemming and such, but it's not the same, especially if we talk about languages other than English. Why doesn't Google add such a featu...
