What happens if you do not use a wildcard in Textbox filters?

When a wildcard is not used in Textbox filters, the search can only return exact matches. This means that if the search term provided does not exactly match an entry in the dataset, no results will be displayed. For example, if the user searches for the term "apple" without a wildcard, only entries that exactly match "apple" will show up, while variations like "apples" or "apple pie" will not be included in the results. This emphasizes the importance of using wildcards for broader search capabilities, as they allow for partial matches and variations of the search term.

Other choices relate to aspects of functionality that would not necessarily apply when a strict, exact match is enforced. For instance, options suggesting that results could be expanded, or that the search could ignore spaces, do not hold under strict querying without the use of wildcards. Therefore, it is essential to apply wildcards when additional flexibility in search results is desired.
