Request: less exacting parameters for matching search strings

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

It's currently a little difficult to achieve matches for inventory items in Homebox. I think because the search parameters are quite exacting.

Let's say I'm trying to find a USB type B cable. I have one recorded in my inventory like this:

1

If I were in a rush, I'd probably put the following string into Homebox. But ... it doesn't yield any results:

2

Even adding cable doesn't help!

3

What is the solution you are proposing?

If there were any way to make the search engine a bit more relaxed in terms of how it matches search strings onto results I think it would be a lot more user-friendly

What alternatives have you considered?
