Full Text Search ignores spaces

[Michael]

I encountered strange behavior when inputting spaces into the Full Text Search field.  I input 'level 02' and i would not have expected the purple boxed rows in attached image to remain since they don't contain '(space)02'.  Is this a bug or intentional?  Thanks.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the image.

When you type in the search box level 02. The logic will split these suggestions into two words and will mark every string which contains these two words. If you want to search for a specific string with empty spaces you can wrap the string in double quotes. ( "level 02" ) You can read more about the search criteria in the Search as You Type help article in our documentation.

Hi Dinko,

Thanks for the clarification.  It would be great to implement an option on the search functionality to always use exact value (minus case sensitivity).   On a side note, I see in that article, the "SearchPanelCloseButtonVisibility" property for RadGridView.  VS cannot find this property for RadGridView in XAML or code-behind.  I'm using version 2018.3.1016.45.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.

Hi Michael,

This property was included in the 2018.3.1210 version of our controls. You can download the LIB version directly from your account.
