Okta Admin: Unable to Search using "contains" to find groups or people with only part of a name

Requests from customers are often sent to Okta Admins through our company's IT Support, requesting that users be added to Okta groups - however, sometimes the okta group name is either not given in full or is only partially correct.

 

The advanced search appears to be omitting a crucial "contains" option to accommodate searching with only part of the group/people name.

 

Has this already been requested as an enhancement, or is there a wildcard text that can be added as prefix and suffix to text entered in search??

    How long will it take to implement a "contains" in the advanced search? The last response said it would be added soon, but that was 6 months ago.

     

    Also, just a heads up that the "Feedback" link from the bottom right corner of Okta admin pages just takes me to a page that "choosing to be re-directed from the Okta Community, in order to provide feedback to Okta." with a link to "https://ideas.okta.com/app/#/token-login?token=XXX" but that results in a blank page for me.
