<!-- Greeting --> Hi @clayheaton! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the superset team. <!-- Answer --> This is expected behavior in Superset 6.0.0: with server-side pagination enabled on the Table chart, the search box only matches the beginning of strings (prefix match), not substrings. This happens because the query uses the `ILIKE` operator with a trailing `%` (e.g., `searchText%`), so only values starting with your input are matched. There’s no configuration option to change this to a substring match (e.g., `%searchText%`) by default—adding `%` manually is the only way to search inside strings right now. This is a known limitation, not a bug or misconfiguration, and is done for performance reasons on large datasets [[source](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-table/src/buildQuery.ts)]. If you need more flexible substring search with server-side pagination, the new AG Grid Table V2 supports column-level filters with "contains" and other options, but the standard Table chart does not [[source](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/35683)]. The community is open to proposals for making the filter operator configurable, but this isn’t implemented yet [[source](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/32276)]. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
