Search Widget Dropdown Suggestions - Only Ones That "Start With" The Search Term
I think a property should be added to set the Search Widget or Layer Search Source to limit the search using the like operator so that the query would be <searchField> like '<searchTerm>%'. The prefix and suffix properties won't work for this.
I am using a feature layer search source with the Search Widget. The feature layer contains address points that have addresses with apartment numbers. There are some single digit address numbers, such as 8 Wyclow St. When users enter 8 into the input box, the top 6 suggestions do not include 8 Wyclow St or even, for example, 8000 Main St. Instead the top suggestions presented are addresses with the character '8' elsewhere in the address text.

Here are the suggestions for '8 ':
