Help Needed: Search Button in PowerApps Platform Only Returns Results with First Part of Username

I am experiencing difficulties with Microsoft Power Pages platform Search Button in Power Platform Only Returns Results with First Part of Username When using the search functionality for usernames, the search only returns results if the first part of the username is entered. Ideally, I would like the search to work as a "like" search so that any part of the username can be typed in, and the corresponding user will appear in the results.

For instance, if the product name is "Big Chicken" and we type "Chicken" in the search, no results will be shown. The search only returns results when the first part of the name, "Big," is entered.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could guide me on how to update the search behavior to work as a "like" search, where any part of the username can be entered to return matching results.

Hi,

how is your gallery set up and how is the search bar setup?

Could you provide a picture of the HTML?

In case you are using liquid to create that view you can also use Javascript inside the searchbar and use a fuzzy search for the items name. Should work well in your example.
