Bug report

Required System information

• Node.js version: v16.20.1

Describe the bug

When searching in relation field, it returns results matching only beginning of the "relation display field". Before, it matched all results.

E.g. we have childPages, using path as main relations display field. Typing ubytovanie should return bratislava-pre-ukrajinu/ubytovanie but it doesn't.

Choosing some relations manually works. Search matching the beginning works.

But the layout is somehow broken.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior

Search in relations field should work correctly. The layout should display correctly.
It would be nice if it also ignores accents (áéšťýö etc...)

I can confirm the change in searching behaviour when searching for a relations.

The code what changes it, seems to be in the v4.11.4 release.
Before v4.11.4 the search worked like "contains" filter, after updating to v4.11.4 it works like a "starts with" filter.

Maybe it is caused by #16671

This issue seems to report the same problem #17521

Is there some plan to fix it? It's preventing us from upgrading to newer Strapi, even tho there were some security updates, this behaviour just complicates the work for our admin users too much.

New Combobox component that is used now looks like it supports both startsWith and contains comparison.
Wouldn't it be useful to switch to contains by default?

Hello

I can confirm that we have the same problem. We are currently on 4.13.6
We preferred to do all the latest updates for security reasons but it's true that it really complicates the work of our editors.
