The Search feature in macOS v8
I have no choice to upgrade to v8 from v7 since 1P7 are abandoned. Anyway, despite of the safari integration frustrations, I don't understand why the search feature is such a cripple in macos app.

1P_Ben - I agree with Leon_Guan's sentiments that the search function seems to search only the first part of a word or phrase. I just had the frustrating experience of trying to find my library card, which only had the keyword "library" found as part of a longer string of "columbuslibrary.org" and the single word "library" didn't appear anywhere on the record. I can work around this, but it doesn't seem like it worked in 1P7 and isn't clear that there is a separate "search" and "find" option. Maybe a better method would be to have a "search" and "advanced search" option? Or maybe "Show All Matching Items" should search within all strings instead of just at the beginning of a word?
