Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have installed the latest version of Storage Explorer.
- I have checked existing resources, including the troubleshooting guide and the release notes.
- I have searched for similar issues.
Problem
I face difficulty in remembering the start of the container name when trying to open a "container by name"
Desired Solution
Currently the "container by name" feature only does prefix search. If we can change it to a substring search would that would be helpful.
Alternatives and Workarounds
There is no alternative, apart from trying to remember the start of the name of the container I am trying to open.

Research direction
Start at the “Open container by name” entry point and trace how the current prefix search is performed. Update the behavior so a query can match any part of a container name, then verify that containers matching a non-leading substring are found without breaking existing prefix matches.
