Actually, wouldn't this give you wrong results?  That is, if in the normal
collection you had "foobar" and "rabbit" and searched for '%bar', I think
you would get back both "foobar" and "rabbit" (since it would match on
raboof and rabbit, right?).

So, for safety, I would still suggest having 2 collections - or maybe
tagging the collection with a notice if it is a reversed value or not.
