Contains filter is working as Startswith filter

[Xorv]

Hi ,
I've a radgrid with many text data (ex. tommy, motomb). Now I also have fiter option for that grid.
Now in the filter text-box of the grid, if I type "tom" and select the filter as "Contains", the grid give the filter results as "tommy" only. Not both "tommy and "motumb".
Why this un-expected behaviour. Even when I have setup the required correctly??

Please guide.

Thanks

Edit: Corrected the word "mutumb" to "mutomb".

Hi Xorv,

From the example, that is the expected behavior for the contains filter. The string "tom" only exists in the first example, "tommy". 

"motumb" isn't returned because the grid is trying to search the text data to see if that exact string exists in it, and "tom" does not exist in "motumb". 

I hope this helps.

Hi Casey,

the word I used "mutumb" is incorrect. The correct and actual word is "mutomb". I have edited my question accordingly.
So, please throw some light on this.

Xorv,

I'm not sure why the contains filter would exclude "mutomb". The only thing I can think of off of the top of my head would be if the text data was upper case for "mutomb" and lower case for "tommy" and the GroupingSettings-CaseSensitive property of the RadGrid hasn't been set to false. If the two words are the same case, or you have set that property to false, I'm not quite sure why the other value would be excluded.
