The UI search bar currently requires an exact match for records to appear in search results, which can be limiting, especially when searching for specific details like the last few digits of a serial number or microchip number. The Base table’s search bar offers a more advanced matching feature, allowing users to find records based on partial entries.

To improve usability and efficiency, I suggest updating the UI search bar to offer similar functionality as the Base table search. This would eliminate the need to rely on the 'Filter' option for partial searches and better support workflows that depend on quickly finding specific data.

Your urgent attention to this matter is appreciated.

Interesting, actually we are experiencing the opposite: the search bars return values that are not exact but "alike". 

But I totally agree, it would be already nice to be able for example regex expressions in the search bar to not ruin the UX of the search bar but be able to do more advanced searching for advanced users. A feature often requested for ERPs.
