Removing characters from field data

Hello,

I'm trying to create a filter, based on the incident table, where it looks at the data in the short description field.  I've learned that the short description data has a date appended to it.  This is how the incidents are being created for this particular scenario.  Please see below:

 

File Validation 10/10/2024

 

When the filter is created, it appears as the following:

I would like to know if there is a way to only search on the string "File Validation" and not include the date? The reason for this ask is because I'm trying to generate a report that only shows incidents with the description of File Validation.  If it shows the date, I will get different occurrences of File Validation when I only need to see one.  So, to restate my question, is there a way to only search on the string "File Validation" and not include the date?
