Hey!  
I have a search button in the application, the problem is this:

In order to find something, I have to write write the words one after the other, if there is a word in the middle, it won’t find me anything.

for example:  
If I want to find chicken breast meatballs  
I need to write chicken breast (in this word order) so that it finds what I’m looking for,

If I write chicken meatballs, it won’t find anything for me.

I want it to show me all the results with the words I wrote, regardless of the chronological order of the words.

thanks

Hi @nadavma2,

Please ensure that you have selected “contains” instead of “equal to” on the filter.

Hi, thanks for the reply.  
It is marked as contains , but it still finds the result only if I write the words in chronological order, if there is a word in the middle it does not find .
