Hello,
 
In the Views for a dataverse table, we have keyword search on the top right. I want to customize it for following changes:
1. Change the label from 'Filter by keyword' to 'Search {columnname}'
2. Change the search criteria from begins with filter to 'contains'

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, the out-of-the-box Dataverse Views (used in Model-Driven Apps or Power Apps) don’t currently allow direct customization of:

    1.Changing the label “Filter by keyword” to a custom label like "Search {columnname}".

    2.Changing the default filter behavior from begins with to contains.

    However, here are some possible workarounds:

    Customize via Custom Page / Canvas App

    •You can build a custom page (Canvas App embedded in Model-driven App) and place a Text Input with a custom label like "Search Kit ID".

    •Use a gallery or DataTable filtered with:

    Filter(yourDataSource, TextSearchBox.Text in ColumnName)

    This uses the “contains” logic.

    Adjust User Training / Tooltip

    •If you cannot implement technical changes, consider a tooltip or user guide that explains:

    •How to use filters more flexibly,

    •Which columns are filtered,

    •What the filter behavior is (begins with vs contains).

    Currently Not Supported in View Settings UI

    There is no setting in Power Apps Maker Portal to change the keyword search label or filter logic for built-in views.

    Best Regards.
