Word search in FTS5

Anyone got any hints for how to do a word-search query in FTS5 ?
Basically I want the results to match the start of words, so if I present 's' as the input, then I only get back rows that have words starting with 's'. If I then present 'st' as the input, I only get back words starting with 'st' etc.
I tried presenting ' s', but of course the tokenizer strips out the ' ' character, so that won't work.

SQLite FTS supports suffix wildcards, so running WHERE body MATCH 'st*'
should do what you want.
