Improve Asset Search by Keywords in Maximo Mobile

Here is the request details :
In Maximo Mobile, asset search currently appears to work primarily on the beginning of a label or through an exact match.
For example, to find the asset "Monobloc de Pulsion":
- Searching for Monobloc returns the asset successfully.
- However, when searching for multiple words contained in the asset label, the user must enter a technical wildcard syntax such as %Monobloc%Pulsion%.

The use of the wildcard character % is not intuitive for business users. It requires knowledge of a technical search syntax and makes the search process less efficient and user-friendly, especially on mobile devices.

Enhancement Request :
Enable free-text keyword search in Maximo Mobile asset search fields, without requiring the use of the % wildcard character.

Expected Behavior
User Input --> Expected Result
Monobloc --> Returns assets containing "Monobloc"
Pulsion --> Returns assets containing "Pulsion"
Monobloc Pulsion --> Returns assets containing both words, regardless of their position in the label
pulsion monobloc --> Returns the same result, regardless of the order in which the words are entered
