Help with narrowing searches in dropdown pickers

Are there any search parameters or special characters that can be used to limit searches? Why I try to use the project picker dropdown menu from within a task and start typing it shows every single letter in my search word as its own character search and therefore lists a hundred items every time. For instance if I search for the word Purchase it will show a project breadcrumb in the search for something like P rojects:Tour ing:Ch ina :s outhe ast. There are so many items shown that it makes the function useless for me. Looking for a way to turn that off and/or search by full words only. Thanks

@kcase mentioned some hidden preference settings that improved this for me. It was a while back, and I cannot find the original post. I’d reach out to OmniGroup to get the info. Or maybe Ken could repost it.
