Unfortunately, I am unable to install new applications. Our company operates under a hierarchical structure, with the parent company above us. I tried discussing the matter with the SharePoint administration team, but they refused to grant access since the tenant is shared by two states. If access were granted to us, it would have to be provided to everyone.
Do you have any other suggestions, perhaps?

I apologize for the wait. Today has been a busy day. I captured some screenshots to help you better understand. I will number them for easier reference.
The first screenshot shows the phones website, organized in a list.
In the second screenshot, the link I mentioned above the page is displayed, available only to our group (IT).
When searching for "Rodrigo," the result is presented.
However, if I type only "Rod" in the search field, no results are displayed.
Best Regards,

Hello arturmafezzoli
it's not possible to change the behaviour of this list search. The best is, you can open a ms ticket or create a user voice.
You can create your own Microsoft Search Verticals or redirect it to a custom search page, but not more.
Here you can find more about Microsoft Search: https://www.mehr365.com/
