Often search only works well if you type in the exact text (at least in our Dutch workspace). But if you turn on AI search you’ll get a lot more entities that matches.

I am quite concerned about the privacy of the OpenAI API, so I don’t plan on using it for now.

Why does it have to match at the beginning of the string? Also, does it support wildcard searches or regular expression matching?

Hi!  
Search by partial matches is only in plans for some day with no eta  
Sorry, that’s not a bug, the behaviour you described, but just the way it works
