How to enable full text search in Quick find?

I was seeing if anyone knows how to enable full text search without using an asterisk wildcard in the quick find search? Currently on dynamics, my quick find search is only searching by "begins with" and is only searching for columns by the first few letters of the object.

Hi @kentxu231 ,

Certainly the asterisk (out-of-the-box) really helps you to find 'contains' operation as well.
For example: You wanna search a case title by "Form" based on title "Total Amount on Form missing".

You can search as:
*Form*
Just as example, you can capture list of matching criteria.

Does this doesn't meet criteria?
Since, if you search for "Form" directly, it won't fetch the contains part.
We don't have flexibility to define "Begins With", "Contains", "Ends With", etc. As we have 1 box to search, Asterisk wildcard helps you tackle multiple request in 1 place.

Hope this helps

Thank you for the response, I was looking to enable full text search without having to use wildcards as the business requested to be able to search for any terms without using the wildcard.

Yes, I am also looking for this functionality. The old Classic CRM had this functionality and looks like new Power platform doesnt support that and only finds exact name.
