It is safe to assume that when a user performs a partial search of let's say a skill, they will search for the first letter, e.g. vfind s/e for engineering.

However, the app displays all possible skills that have the letter 'e' inside when vfind s/e is executed, skills like 'classmates' and 'friends' show up. It could be frustrating as a user to sieve through these results using vfind.

Team's Response

This is not a valid issue as It is safe to assume that when a user performs a partial search of let's say a skill, they will search for the first letter, e.g. vfind s/e for engineering. is not really a valid assumption. For example, if one were to normally perform a ctrl f function and search a web page, you will get all instances of words with the letter e, and not just the first letter being e.

You may have users that want to find all volunteers beginning with the letter e, and you may have users that want to find all volunteers that have the letter e. Thus we put this as rejected
