Choice field with Intellisense / Autocomplete not working perfectly
amke321 This is by design in SharePoint and default behavior of search option for choice column options.
Search works based on "starts with" criteria and not "contains" criteria. I don't think there is any setting to change this behavior and you cannot modify this behavior of list forms using SharePoint JSON formatting.
If you want Microsoft to change this behavior, you can submit feedback at: SharePoint Feedback Portal

- ganeshsanap What's the work around bro? The employer just told me 'nothing is impossible' =))
Should I make the shift to PowerApps?It is not possible using SharePoint default functionalities as well as SharePoint JSON formatting capabilities.
If this feature is absolutely required by your employer then you will have to customize the list form using either Power Apps (easy & low code) or SharePoint Framework (coding experience required).
I will suggest you to inform your employer that form UI will change if you customize the list form using Power Apps before actually making changes to list form and let them decide they are fine with UI changes.
