In all aspects of CRM search works just from first word.

For example I have Account with name “Pina Co Lada”, and if I write in search: “Lada”, system will not find nothing.
It must me to write: “Pina”. Only in that way I can find account “Pina Co Lada”

How to fix that?

You can use the wildcard if you want to use partial search where there are characters before your search value.

So, searching ‘%Lada’ will find ‘Pina Co Lada’.

The CRM wildcards values after your search term, so ‘Volks’ would find ‘Volkswagen’ for example.

Thanks,

Hi there,

The search functionality is currently under appraisal and a more efficient, smarter approach is on the horizon. In the meantime, you can use the percent sign % and this, for example %Lada will match anything that has lada in the name.

Hi there,

There is also a “search_wildcard_infront” setting in the config.php. This will match without requiring the percent symbol being required.

Best regards,
