In a search filtered in java using .startWith (query) for example:
I want to search "Military Police" in the search I type "Police" and appears police, ok. If I type "military", does not appear in my search.
How do I search the entire content string?

As its name implies startsWith says whether the String begins with certain text. To know contain the text anywhere and not specifically at the beginning use contains:
String query = "Policia Militar";
query.contains("Policia"); // true
query.contains("Militar"); // true
However note that the search has to be accurate as far as uppercase and minuscule are concerned, so if you search for militar will not give true:
query.contains("militar"); // false
If this is a problem, you can change the logic to turn both to uppercase or minuscule before the comparison, which you already solve. This change can be made both with toLowerCase as with toUpperCase:
String pesquisa = "militar";
query.toLowerCase().contains(pesquisa.toLowerCase()); //true
Thank you very much, solved the problem !
