Sharepoint Library Column Filter contains rather than begins with

Question

Hi,

I have a sharepoint library that has a field called bank which is a choice column that you can select banks that the document relates too. When adding the banks if I start typing it will show banks that start with the text being typed but not that maybe part of a second word. For example say the I want to get 'Bank of England' if I start typing 'Bank..' it will show but if I type 'England' it will not.
Can I edit the settings so that it shows choices containing the text for normal users.

Thanks for help

Hi @James Philbey , welcome to Q&A forum!

Per my knowledge, the Choice column in SPO currently only supports "Begin with" search. We understand your situation, however this is the default behavior of SPO, I might have to say there is currently no setting to change this default behavior.

Thanks for your support and understanding. :)
