Can't search views using "*" for values CONTAINED within record name

Posted on by Immi

Previous to current update, we could search a View by keyword and if the record was "123 Fake Street" we had to use "*" if we wanted to search for "Fake" - eg. "*Fake". But since the update this isn't allowed, so we can only search using the Global Search which isn't ideal.

RE: Can't search views using "*" for values CONTAINED within record name

Hi Immi,

With latest updates form Microsoft, This is controlled by the following setting:

This was recently enabled by default, but due to some feedback this is now being changed back to Off by default.

When off, the error message will only be a warning, but the search attempt will proceed.

Administrators would still be able to opt into blocking the leading wildcard searches by manually enabling this setting.

Hi Immi,

Yes.

Here are the changes brought by this update, which is by-design feature.

Maybe you can post your feedback in Idea forum, it may allow the product team to see it.

Or you can open a ticket for Microsoft support and they can help you confirm and potentially obtain a mitigation solution with the product team as soon as possible.
