Enhancement or minor defect?: Please make the Role search include the whole string

[Berto2002]

I wanted to search for all roles with "admin" in them but I cannot because the search only searches the start of the string! So unless I know the first word, I cannot search for roles with certain words.

I am sure you didn't mean to design it this way so I suspect minor defect?

Searching for "admin" finds only roles starting with "Admin":

But I believe it should find all roles with "Admin" in the Role name; a few examples of which you can see when you have no search criteria in the list:

Hi @Berto2002

You can use a percentage as a wildcard to get the results you need.. so if you search for %admin instead you should get the relevant results.

Kind regards,

Dave.

Boom! Haha. And there's the difference between how technical and non-technical people see the world! :-) Thanks.

These days, we assume the "%" in searches. I suggest you could consider that to bring consistency in the Product. For example, in the search for Users I CAN enter any string direct, with no "%" and it finds a user, even if the string is not at the start:

Thanks @Berto2002glad you got what you needed... I'll pass on the feedback regarding the consistency of search term in the different views to the relevant team.

Cheers,

Dave.
