Wouldn't this be enough?

<pre wrap="">If a German speaker searches for "schiff" would they expect to find in
words like donaudampfschiff?

They probably would expect to find it.
But sometimes you find search options like "exact search phrase". Then
it should find "schiff".
Else I would expect that the search engine adds wildcards in front and
behind so that any words are found containing this token.

Prefix wildcard search may be sufficient, but I don't know if it is
friendly.

True. But when adding a leading wildcard for the user it will give the
same result.
What about all the other languages?
Does this work in english actually?
</pre>

I would agree to that. Automatically adding a leading and a trailing to
a search would solve the problem language independent and user friendly.<br>
