Search using 'contains' instead of 'beginwith'

[FernVeilleux]

I hope one day it will be replaced.

Lets say I have these : 'Adams Service', 'James Adams' and 'Clark and Adams'. I do not use them very often.
Typing 'Ada' in the search box would show all 3 of them (plus maybe some others) and I would select the correct one.

Same thing with 'categories'. Typing 'res' would show 'Business:restaurant' as well as 'Outings:restaurant'

Without results, it would start a new entry.

Have you tried to use asterisks, as pattern for search?

Mar* will work ONLY if the payee's name BEGIN with 'Mar' not for 'Robert Marchessault'

Try using a regular expression, like .*ada.* or .*Mar.* I'm not sure which search boxes it works in, and it doesn't seem to care about upper and lower case. Some of them might need "regex:" at the start.

If it worked like the Category Manager, the problem would probably be solved.
I propose to submit the request to https://github.com/moneymanagerex/moneymanagerex/issues
