Describe the Feature
Because Global Search is filters on any sub-string, it causes some unintended behaviour when a particular value is a sub-string of another value in the same column. In particular, searching "male" when "female" is also a valid value in a gender column.
Ideally, it would be possible to configure global search's starts-with vs contains behaviour, and additionally allow the use of meta-characters/wildcards so the user can specify the format of what they want to match on
To Reproduce
@page "/Bug152"
<Table TableItem="PersonData" Items="data" ShowSearchBar="true" ShowFooter="true">
<Column TableItem="PersonData" Title="Gender" Field="@(x => x.Gender)" Sortable="false" Filterable="true" SetFooterValue="Count" />
</Table>
@code
{
private PersonData[] data;
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
data = new PersonData[]
{
new PersonData()
{
Gender = "Male"
},
new PersonData()
{
Gender = "Female"
}
};
}
public class PersonData
{
public string Gender { get; set; }
}
}
Expected behavior
Searching "male" or "^male" would not return the Female result.
