Do you have any idea how to solve it?

If you want to search for everything that contains e.g. an 'a', then the wildmatch search with the * * is appropriate. If you do not want this to appear, you can turn it off in the object by going to the 'properties' and put 'default' in the 'default search mode' on the 'general' tab.

If you want to turn it off for the whole document and within QV, then you go to 'settings', 'user preferences', on the 'general' tab, and select 'use normal search' in the 'search settings' area.

Try with a capital 'A', else there is nothing that starts with an 'a' in your list, although there is one in your previous image.

I tried a capital 'A', but the result is the same. It does not work. But there is APAC in my listbox, when I use stars it works, but I want to work it without star.
