[Feature]: Improve UX of prefix search or switch to fulltext search

Open osintalex opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

What change would you like to see?

I would like to know I'm using a prefix search rather than full text search or just use full text search.

Context

I noticed this when searching for a collection to auto add a crawl too. Suppose my collection is called "my cool collection". If I type "cool" into the search box, I expect to see my collection come up.

I don't see it come up since I assume the search is prefixed based as is the case here. I would rather it was full text based - i.e. it just did a case insensitive search for all collections with the word cool in them.

If for some reason it needs to stay prefix based, I would rather that was explicit in the UI - i.e. some placeholder text said "Search for collections beginning with...".

Happy to work on this if there is support.
