How do I filter for partial results in tasks attributes?

Hi all,
I have a question concerning Abstractspoon ToDoList v6.9.2.
I am using several attributes, including custom ones (Project, Meeting Type, ...) to organise my project task list.
To filter the work topics for regular meeting I want to filter the task list by searching for partial results in their attributes.
For example in the "Projects" Column there are the tasks

Name; cus_Project
Task1; Project A
Task2, Project B
Task3, Project C
Task4, Project
Task6, TaskForce A
Task7, TaskForce B
...

If I define a search like
cus_Project contains "Project" I would expect to see Tasks 1 to 4 filtered.
But I only receive Task4 as a positive filter result!?

What am I doing wrong?
How can I define a filter that returns all tasks whichs attribute contains the search string?

I can also send an example ToDoList File and an Error recording.

Thanks in advance
Mikro

You have tagged this Attributes, search, and Bug, but not what product or language you are using.

What is TDL?

Oh, ok,
TDL ist Abstractspoon ToDoList.
The help referenced to this forum and I didn't get, that the discussed software is a bit more "diverse" than only ToDoList, my fault.

Has anybody encountered the same problem?
