What does the Textbox filter treat each search term as?

The Textbox filter treats each search term as a term that is preceded and followed by a wildcard. This means that when a user enters a search term, the filter effectively searches for that term in a way that allows for any characters to appear before and after the term within the data being searched. This approach enables a broader search result, as it captures variations and different forms of the search term that might exist within the dataset.

By treating search terms in this manner, users can find instances of the term regardless of its position within larger strings of text, which enhances the search's comprehensiveness. Other options do not capture this key functionality of the Textbox filter. For instance, considering a search term as just a simple term would limit the search results, while treating it as prefixed or as a wildcard on its own would not account for the context in which the term can appear.
