Sharepoint Lists - Choice (type part of the choice option and relevant options appear)

hi, I'm very new to microsoft Lists. so please forgive my ignorance if this is easy or impossible to do.

 

is there a way on sharepoint list, that when the end user enter 'Wol' then the options from the  the choice list  is filtered down to only show values which contains 'wol'.

 

the default filter, only works if the option starts with Wol

    stephenbrownsword1986, 

    I agree with RobElliott that this behavior cannot be changed using SharePoint OOTB capabilities. However, you can customize your list form using Power Apps & achieve this using formulas (look & feel of form may change in this case).

    stephenbrownsword1986 No, the default behaviour when typing the choice entry is to filter by 'starts with' and that can't be changed.
