I don't think that was a bug. I think that is just how they designed it.
From the help file:
"Use only the first few letters of a word to expand your search results If
you type the first few letters of a word, OneNote finds words that contain
that portion of the word. For example, if you type Tim and you have notes
that include the word time, OneNote finds notes that contain both Tim and
time. To avoid this, use quotation marks to search for an exact word or
phrase."
If it had wildcards, then this would help.
