Within Field Maps it would be great for the search functionality for attribute fields that use drop down lists to be improved to make it more user friendly. Suggestions are:

Search results are returned with best matches first (e.g. if searching 'red' 'red grouse' would be at the top of the list not 'American redstart').

When you start a search you are auto returned to the top of the list (currently the list stays open partway down). 

Where words use hyphenated words e.g 'red jungle-fowl' theses to be returned even if the hyphen is not used e.g. 'jungle fowl'.

Many thanks

I have found search functionality to be lackluster in most of Esri's offerings. I think this idea also applies to other applications in the ArcGIS stack.
