Please confirm:

  • I have searched existing feature requests (open and closed) and found no duplicates.
  • **me or my organization is currently an active sponsor of the product at the $99,- level.

Problem Statement

CIPP defaults to fuzzy searching in data grids. In most cases we are searching for specific things and believe that Contains is a much more suitable default as fuzzy returns lots of results not desired in our searches.

Our suggestion is to default to Contains or provide some option to change behavior (either globally, per-user, or in a browser state - e.g. retain last-used search type).

Benefits for MSPs

  1. Fewer self-defenestrating technicians.
  2. Reduce administrative overhead of anger management.

Value or Importance

Our techs are slowed down by the extra noise of fuzzy search results.

PowerShell Commands (Optional)

I for one would love for this to be the default too. Maybe having it as a user setting, so techs themselves could chose the default for themselves would be even better?
