The default behavior of simple filters is that they search for all entries, which contain the string that you typed. However, if you have a lot of data, this will significantly slow down your searches. If you know that in most cases you will be happy with a search result that exactly matches your search string, you can change the application's configuration (per partition).

To change the default configuration:

1. Go to Administration > Configuration > Advanced Configuration Options.
2. Add the property defaultTextMatchStyle and set its value to exact. The property accepts values exact and startsWith.
3. Reload the application.

Note: This change will affect all tables (except for those that already had special behavior) in the application. It is not possible to apply this behavior only to selected tables.
