--- Comment #4 from Rafael Lima <[email protected]> ---
I am glad this is NOTABUG.

However, I had no idea that the option "Search criteria = and <> must apply to
whole cells" would change the way the filter is applied in AutoFilter. I always
thought this option only applied to database functions, as stated in the help
page [1], where it says that the option "Specifies that the search criteria you
set for the Calc database functions must match the whole cell exactly."

There's no information about this option being applied to the AutoFilter. The
same goes for help pages [2] and [3] that should mention the effect that this
option may have.

The reason why I ended up having this "bug" is because some time ago I was
documenting DB functions and I disabled the aforementioned option to test its
effects, then I forgot to re-enable it.

Is it OK if I reopen this bug and send it to Documentation so we can improve
the help pages related to the AutoFilter ??
