If you have >100'000 items in your database and you're searching for:
a table that's 75cm high, color RAL9010, with round table legs. You'll have a hard time finding it in Business Central.

In Business Central by default the sequence you type your words matter for the search results you'll get. If you have that many items in you database, you can't expect that people know the order of the words in which an item description is saved. The result is that you won't find what you're looking for or you need to add complicated characters in between each word, which takes way too long for someone who needs to input orders fast the entire day.

What we need is a default possibility so that Business Central transforms this:
table 75 9010 round
into:
@*table*&@*75*&@*9010*&@*round*

in 99% of the cases I would rather have Business Central search in a way the order of the words doesn't matter.

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team

Or at least give us an event to manipulate the entered searchtext before it's passed through.
