1. You can create an index for the name field of res.partner.

2. In the search you can use:

   self.env['res.partner'].search([('name', '%', 'Jon Smit')])

3. In this example the function will return positive result for John Smith or John Smit.

4. You can tweak the number of strings to be returned by adjusting the set limit (default: 0.3). NB: Currently you have to set the limit by executing the following SQL statement:

   self.env.cr.execute("SELECT set_limit(0.2);")

For further questions read the Documentation of the pg_trgm module.
