Basic question. My keyword dashboard filter is forcing exact matches instead of letting me search partials. For example, we have a Data Reference Record “David 12345”. If I search “12345”, it does not pull up the record. Is it possible to search partial matches?
Dashboard Filter: Forced to enter exact match, want partial matches? Is this possible?

You should change the field type to open text, the you can add a filter of contains. This should do partial matches.

Thanks ahmedA...that solved my issue. I had to figure out where to set it as “open text”, so for anybody else facing this issue, here are the general steps I took.
- Click to “Edit” your dashboard
- Click the “+” plus sign, to add a new filter.
- A long pulldown list will show up. Click on the first one, “Advanced Filter”.
- After chooing the question/metadata/etc, click on “Insert new condition”, and these change the pulldown to “contains”.
