Description

I'm trying to find files in a blob storage.
At the moment the only option is the search field in the blob storage view which is case sensitive and does a prefix search. Both of these choices are weird as they do not match what the user expects from common search fields.

Search should just be 'contains' instead of 'prefix' and case insensitive like 99% of all search boxes in applications. Ideally search should be identical to searching in the windows explorer on my local PC.

Research direction

Start from the blob storage view's search field and trace how it currently performs prefix and case-sensitive matching. Done means searches match any part of a blob name regardless of letter case, with behavior comparable to common file search.
