How to set a default operator for each 'Go To Search' option in lists

Hi, SNC,

 

A question I have been wondering about quite some time - in Lists, when you use the Go To search functionality, depending on which field you search, you are provided a default operator, which is not always the most efficient one. One example: in Changes, when you select to search in the field 'Short Description' the default operator used is '>=', which I think is not so cool.

I am aware of the different search tips, wildcards, etc. Also I have read the article for creating a custom sys property for a default 'contains' operator: Go to Search with Default "Contains"

 

What I am rather thinking of is a way to set default operators for all common search picks (fields from the list), but not personal, more like for common usage by all our users. The best thing I can think of is to create multiple sys properties like the one mentioned above.

 

So my question is - is there a more flexible way to set default operators on Go To searches?

What solved my problem was to create a new sys_property named glide.ui.goto_use_contains and set it to TRUE.


Works brilliant.
