When doing an advanced contact search, if we choose a field with a preset list of options (Tag Group, Category, Status, etc), regardless of the operand we choose we are only ever given the option to use a preset value from the dropdown box as the search criteria.

It would be very helpful to be have a freeform text box for the "Begins With" and "Like" operands.

For example, we have 6 different tag groups that all start with the same first three letters - "FMG": FMG A Clients, FMG B Clients, FMG C Clients etc. etc. Right now there's no way to get a list of ALL tag group clients that start with FMG because if I choose "Begins with" I can only choose one of the values from the dropdown. I know I could create a tag group called only "FMG" but then we run the risk of a user using it by accident when it's only being added for search purposes. I would like to be able to type in a value when searching. Same goes for "Like" operand. I assume that's there if we want to use a wildcard * character but there's no way to actually use that option since each value is unique and can't be adjusted.
