The standard behavior of FilterText appears to show any ReportRecord that has a ReportRecordItem that 'contains' the FilterText. Is it possible to have it filter on 'starts with'?

So for example, if there were 3 Records.

Apple

Banana

Orange

Using 'contains' FilterText ="A" it would show 2 records. This is the current behavior.

Apple

Banana

Using 'starts with' FilterText ="A" it would only show 1 record.

Apple

There is a strict option, I don't have sources in-front of me at the moment, but look for the strict option. I cant remember if there is a starts with however, I don't believe there is.

Thanks for the quick reply. According to the documentation, FilterSeparatorStrict doesn't appear to offer 'starts with' functionality.

FilterSeparatorStrict specifies whether text filtering will compare text in the " rel="nofollow - FilterText property using the logical "AND" or the logical "OR" if the " rel="nofollow - FilterText property contains strings separated by spaces

As far as I know that is all there is. It wouldn't be hard to add this extra condition yourself however. Check the first letter before setting the text, if its false then don't set the text.
