For instance if I had a place like Raleigh, Wake, North Carolina, USA and I want to abbreviate the state and drop the USA so that the Place name became Raleigh, Wake, NC I could enter , North Carolina, USA and all Places that contained North Carolina would be listed and I could select all or any of them to change. With 2.398, there is no option to search anywhere in the string and the only search is done on the beginning characters.
