How can I change this statement in the Items property of my Records gallery to filter using a partial string? I am using an SP list with over 2000 records so I would need method that supports delegation to SP.

If(SearchInput1.Text="",Table_Dies_1,Filter(Table_Dies_1,product=SearchInput1.Text))
 
this statement works but the user has to key in the exact spelling of the product to get a result. 
 
for example if text value of product in records is '123 widget 1' right now they have to type the whole 123 widget 1 string to get
a filtered result
 
I would like to simply type '123' and get all similar results.  The convention of all our products is basically "### Words" 
 
it would be a bonus if they could key into searchinput1 field either the "###" or "words" part of the string and filter all records 
have the matching string portions.
 
I did find this post below, but i was hoping there was a less Fx code intensive solution maybe?

Hi CP-23071818-0

The best you are going to do with Delegation support directly in Power Apps would be (so 123 would work)
Filter( Table_Dies_1, Len(SearchInput1.Text) = 0 || StartsWith( product, SearchInput1.Text ) )

Works like a charm thank you! I also tried to add || Endswith but that apparently does not support delagation but this will be better then scrolling the entire list.
