Is it possible to have instant search for part words without applying the
wild card *?
for example, i want to search for a file but not sure if its spelt "jessie"
or "jessy" so i just put in "jess"
its no big hassle putting in the * symbol but would be preferred not to.

thanks

Hello,

You do need the wilcard character in this case. By design, we focus on delivering fewer results (more precision) hence requiring full word searches as a default.
