Datagrid search box requires wildcard to search partial words?

I want to confirm what I am seeing… Most web search boxes in tables will search as you type even if it finds partial hits. I thought that is how it worked with a datagrid from past tests… but now I am seeing it will not return results unless one of two scenarios:

1: Exact word match: Example: “bob” to return any rows with bob
2: Partial word with wildcards. Example “bo*” for bob

If I search for “bo” it will return nothing

Is this how it is supposed to work? I want to confirm before I submit a feature request… Having to use * is not intuitive so it would be nice to have that capability.

Bump. Still trying to figure out if there is a way to do a wild card search in the quickfilter box without having to use * in front and back. I see in the Eventdata its in quickfiltervalue but not sure if we can change the settings:

{ “filter”: { “items”: “”, “logicOperator”: “and”, “quickFilterValues”: “SK_”, “quickFilterLogicOperator”: “and” }, “page”: 0, “pageSize”: 10, “sort”: }

This does not work

But this does to filter on SK_*

It feels like underneath the hood it is do a direct 1 for 1 search instead of defaulting to a wildcard search as one would expect in this type of quick filter.

Bump as well - @adam is there any way to circumvent or account for this on our end?

Good question!
