Improve search matching of drop-downs

Hi, I've found that most of the drop-down fields that must be filled in on expense reports require knowing exactly how something is listed in the field to search for it.

For example (and as a user, not an admin, I don't know if these are universal or custom fields), we have drop-down selection fields for Merchant, Category, Customer, Project, and Class. For Category, it works as I'd expect: if I want to search for the category "some category", I can search on either word "some" or "category" and it'll come up. But for the other 4 fields, the search only finds entries that start with the search terms I enter. If for example we had a customer of "Some customer name here" and I search for "name", search will only find customers that start with "name".

It would be great if all of these drop-down field searches worked the same as the Category drop-down search does. And really, this same principle should probably be applied to all of your search fields in all of your products. ;)
