Option to enable %keyword% search by default

Is there an option to enable %keyword% search by default... if not which files to edit?

The end of the first section.

Awesome

Use 'contains' operator when filtering varchar fields
If not checked then 'starts with' operator is used. You can use the wildcard '%'.

It would be nice to have an option to prefix the % in the search as option indeed as suggested below.


---------------------------
From the Espocrm.com customer portal documents/tips section :

Open file application/Espo/Controllers/GlobalSearch.php

Find:

$query = $request->get('q');

Add content below:

$query = trim($query, '%');
$query = '%'. $query .'%';
Do the initial trim in case someone has already added the wildcard to the beginning or end, since this makes it a global wildcard.
You can also do it on the record list as well by making the very simple change below.

Open file application/Espo/Core/SelectManagers/Base.php

Go to line 1248 and change...

$expression = $textFilter . '%';

to

$expression = '%'. $textFilter . '%';

So this code will basically allow using to use Filter type of search on the Global Search? Is that right?
