The search feature becomes most powerful when it is able to locate fragments of words and numbers. At present the search feature looks for coincidence withe the first letters in a word or number. It would be better to have an automatic or selectable letter group search for any part of a text.

Would be nice if one could use wildcards, *

This should be easy to implement.

Next release with support this.

When entering you search value (This is only in search) if you put an * (asterisk) at the start of a value, it will search anywhere in the word.

I also got UNICODE value searching working.

Would the search update apply to creating column filters? No easy to search for embedded keywords within a particular column.
