How exactly do you make the results only "CONTAINING" the characters rather than having to be the exact name in a search bar?

text = define here pls
text1 = text:sub(1) -- gets all characters from the first character, if I type youssef04, it will "read" youssef04.

So say if I searched "Cookie" then it would get me ANYTHING containing cookie, e.g.
Hi, I like cookies!...?
