Searchbox Logic Changes

Q&A

I have noticed the search functionality has changed. It used to search on the exact string input, as if it were a LIKE search on %STRING%. Now it won’t search if your search string starts in the middle of a word, and treats each space in your search string as a wildcard. With the way a lot of my resources are named, this makes it much more difficult for me to find what I’m looking for. I have no idea why you would change the search logic that has been established for years, but it has caused a lot of my reports that have names for easier searchability to be much harder to find, and every user would have to readapt to conform to the new search logic. It’s very backwards.

Question: Can we revert this change?

Hi @Sean_Middlehurst,

Thanks for flagging this. We tried to replicate the behavior you described but couldn’t reproduce it on our end. Could you provide a little more context like where in the platform were you searching? (e.g., dashboard list, dataset search, filter/control on a report). Depending on which search bar you’re referring to, it is my understanding that the search logic cannot be changed.
