Finder on macOS: Search works by default with “Name matches” instead of “Name contains”

Ask Different Asked by paulie on December 31, 2021

Is there any possibility to change default behaviour of Search text box in Finder to search with “Name contains” instead of “Name matches”?
I know there is this possibility in advanced searching criteria but that is way too lengthy and usually I just need to quickly find some files by part of the filename.

macOS Catalina v10.15.5

Find Any File can do this, an it's only $7.99:

FYI I haven't tried it myself, but the developer website screenshot shows searching by Contains:
