I am having a list wherein a user name is displayed based on his phone number.  
I have used a text field, and wherever there’s a match the number is displayed.

Now the problem is, whenever I start entering the number (not yet finished entering the entire number), list of matching users is shown (Refer below image).  
This gives access to all the users in the database. I don’t want this to happen. How to solve this ?

Hi @Nitish,

I guess then you need **is equal to operator** on the filter instead of **contains**!

Thank you
