What is served is a file of entries and an index is used to look up the
position in the file of entries. If you have an entry for every
inflected form, you'll be able to search for every inflected form.
There's no magic on the back end!
As for the actual lookup, there are so called lookup "strategies":
exact, prefix, substring, regular expression, soundex, levenshtein etc.
How easy it easy to use a specific strategy to search varies with
clients.
