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/

 

Regards, Dave

    On your site I did not find anything related to research. Can you share the direct link?
