We are removing the capability to utilize a prefix wildcard search via all Smartsheet searches.
Prefix wildcard queries are expensive to operate from an infrastructure resource standpoint. When a prefix wildcard query is executed, it consumes as many resources as it can to execute the query as fast as possible. When the resources are consumed with this, no other operations can be performed until the prefix query is completed.
This will improve search performance and reduce the possibility of crashes in alignment with industry recommendations and best practices. Learn more.
