Title is misleading. They are scrapping it because they already take into account variations in spelling and this will no longer be necessary. This is the line from the site: > Wildcard searches are no longer supported because recent changes to how search works already take into account many variations of a query and because this change enables us to deliver search results faster. Nowhere in there does it say it's taking it out because it's causing a high server load.
