[Phpmyadmin-devel] about LIKE '%...%'

I must say I particulary enjoyed having that %...% as default. In my daily
working (and those of my co-workers) we seldomly use exact matching when we're
searching.

I do think we should leave that as default, and when users want to have an exact
match, it's no problem for them to switch to the exact matching.

Yes, I think that would be too much overhead...
