The search panel is not working properly

[Laimonas]

When the check box "Use 'contains' operator when filtering varchar fields" (Administration -> Settings -> Search) is checked - it supposes to work as the "contains" operator.

However, if I type less than 4 symbols in the Search panel, the search comes up with no results (there are many three-letter words that I cannot find using just the Search panel).

'Contains' operator and the "%%" sign are not sensitive to the number of symbols, I can type one, two, three, or more symbols - the search finds all records containing these symbols (but it's not that comfortable to use them).

It would be great if the Search panel would not be limited to typing a minimum of 4 symbols.

Please find the pictures attached.

I believe that setting only applies to "Global" search, not entity search.

You can try to enable in the "Full Search" /#Admin/entityManager/ edit button and see if that help.

I can't remember if I need to change anything but I can search for single character, 2 chars, 3 chars without having to use the minimum 4 chars. Although the result is quite rubbish when you using <2 chars though but it work.

I don't remember I need to do this, https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/deve...h-js#post70782

From what I remember all I need was enable Full Search, clear cache and rebuild.

There are few options to set this.

Not a bug.

You can change a config param:
