    Don't want it to be necessary for exact string to be typed into search box.

    Hey folks - I currently have code written for a search box. Unfortunately, it requires the exact string to be inputted in order for a row to be populated. In an ID, there could be "ID_AB_24" or "ID1_AB_32" or "AB_24". I would want for people to be able to simply type in AB_24 or AB_32 and still have it populated. Is there a way to do this? It's currently case-insensitive, and I'd like it to stay that way.

    Thanks!
