    Hi,

    To search the records contain the keywords rather than “begins with”, you can add the wildcard * before the keyword.

    Before that you need to configure it.

    Go to Admin Center > Your Environment > Settings > Feature > Prevent Slow keyboard filter for quick find terms on view pages.

    Turn this option off.

    Then you can search the result which contains keywords

    If you want to change the text of “Begins with” to “Contain”, I am afraid that it is by designed and we can’t customize it.

    After all, using this wildcard will slow down the search.
