Search functionality in Report Viewer should match "1469" when display text is "1,469".
Dear Team,

Currently, the search functionality in the Report Viewer only matches the exact text as it is displayed on the screen. For example, if a value is formatted as "1,469", searching for "1469" yields no results.
Requested Change:
I would like the search functionality to work against the underlying data value. Users should be able to find numeric values even if they don't include the thousands separator (comma) or other formatting in their search query. This would make the report much more user-friendly and consistent with how users expect search to work.
Example:
  • Actual Value: 1469
  • Displayed Text: 1,469
  • Expected Search Behavior: Searching for "1469" should highlight "1,469".

Hi Sureshbabu,

I discussed your feature request with the team, and we agree that it is indeed valid.

That said, as mentioned in the private ticket, the current search functionality relies on the data that is actually rendered in the UI, rather than the underlying dataset. Because of this, changing the behavior would be a bit challenging technically.

Still, we will continue to monitor the feature request and the number of user votes, and if it aligns with our product roadmap, we will consider implementing it in a future release.

As a token of appreciation for your contribution, I have updated your Telerik points.

Regards,
Petar
