This is only active when the dropdown field selected is ‘Full Name’.
Example:
- When searching for a candidate, the user chooses Full Name > Starts with and then enters ‘Jo* Sm*’.

John Smith
Joe Smythe
Josephine Small
A user can also select ‘End with’ and insert the wildcard asterisk and the start of criteria to return results.
