Partial word search when opening up canvasses from server

In the designer - when you attempt to open a canvas from your company server - you're given a search screen to find your canvas.

 

This search sometimes does partial string match and sometimes not - this inconsistency is confusing (full worked up solution in the screenshots below).

For example - if you search for the word "full" it will bring back "main - full download" but will not bring back "main - checkFullDownload".

 

Please can you change this search process to work on any substring of the canvas name - that is the intuitive behavior that users would expect.

 

Thank you.

 

I should be able to find this one if I use the word "Full" right?I should be able to find this one if I use the word "Full" right?Nope - Full only returns canvasses where Full is at the beginning of the name; or after some whitespaceNope - Full only returns canvasses where Full is at the beginning of the name; or after some whitespaceIt would be better if this worked with any substringIt would be better if this worked with any substring
