 * Hello,
    I need the search for the “Description” (Descrizione) string field to
   work with multiple partial terms. I am attaching the links to the screenshots,
   to be clearer. [https://dev.alessandromaggioni.it/screenshots/table-results-ok.png](https://dev.alessandromaggioni.it/screenshots/table-results-ok.png)
   [https://dev.alessandromaggioni.it/screenshots/table-results-not-ok.png](https://dev.alessandromaggioni.it/screenshots/table-results-not-ok.png)
   If in the column of that field I have the value “Dado autobl. M 6 – UNI 7473 
   zinc.” I would need that doing the search for “Dado M 6” I see the result. Is
   there any way to enable this feature?

 * Hello there.
 * Thank you for reaching out to us.
 * Unfortunately, what you’re looking for to achieve is not possible with the plugin’s
   built-in features.
 * Our developers will work on modifying the filtering logic in the future, but 
   we can’t say exactly what and when it will be done.
 * Kind regards.
