Search with OR option

Hi,
i have an issue on a list page search Field.

i have in a db field named faq_problem some text: examp. "error on row rp8"
if i search 'error rp8' not record  displayed.
if i search 'error % rp8' wil show the record.
if i search 'rp8 % error' not record displayed.

How i can edit the search function?

the sql is like this: SELECT * FROM table WHERE (name LIKE '%value1%') OR (name LIKE '%value2%') ORDER BY id ASC

@alekib‍ please check the image below for reference.
1. For a List Page, you can configure the fields you want the search to match against on that page, by checking the fields checkbox and unchecking any field checkbox you don't want to add to the search
2. Use the SearchType to set the type of search you want to use in each field when searching. Note that this will depend on if you enabled the Search by checking the checkbox.

Foreach($strarray as $key=>$value){
If($key > 0){
$query = $query . "OR";

@alekib‍ please locate the controllers folder in app/, there you will see a list of controllers, find and open the page controller you want to work on, the file name will start with the page name followed by controller.php(e.g InventoryController.php).  in the list() function you can now edit it to do what you want.
