Kendo Grid Column Filter dropdown results not behaving as expected

[Bo Chulindra]

In the demo at http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/filter-row, you can see that the Ship Name column filter defaults to Contains. However, if you type in the search box, a dropdown of results shows but it is using the filter Starts With. If I hit Enter, the column will be filtered by Contains. However, the dropdown is confusing and wrong.

 

Is there a way to get the dropdown to use the specified filter rather than always being Starts With? If not, what's the best way to stop the dropdown from showing since it's confusing and wrong.

I attached 2 screenshots showing what I mean.

Nevermind, I figured it out. It's controlled by the columns.filterable.cell.suggestionOperator option.
