Updated Items Search on Android Square POS

Hello Seller Community!

 

We heard your feedback asking for improvements to search in Android Point of Sale!  Starting in August, we will update the search functionality in Android Square Point of Sale to match that of the iOS Square Point of Sale. Android will now search by prefix on a word by word basis, not substring, in the Items Checkout and Invoice areas of Square Point of Sale.

 

Here are some examples of the search changes:

Search term

New Point of Sale Search (Prefix)

Existing Point of Sale Search on Android (Substring)
