Hi everyone,

The current search behaviour in the Browse by Text/Metadata feature uses a 'starts with' approach, meaning results only appear if the entry begins with the search keyword.

Is it possible to change this to a 'contains' behaviour, where results include any entries that have the keyword anywhere in the string not just at the start?

We're using DSpace 8.3. Any guidance or configuration tips would be appreciated!
