Changing Search Default

 

Question

Changing Search Default. I do a lot of "searching" when I am in Access and I was wondering something.  Whenever I hit "find" the option always comes up with Match "Whole Field" - I always want it to be "Any Part of Field" instead - is there any place where I can change that option?  Minor detail but it's aggravating if you do a lot of searching! 

Answer

When changing search default, select the following on the toolbar:

Tools>Options

Then, click on the Edit/Find tab then, in the Default Find/Replace section, choose General Search.

This should do the trick.
