Description

At the moment JPA search visitor always uses a LIKE match for all string values even if they don't have '*' characters which is not consistent with SQL and Lucene visitors.

By default, if a string value has no '' then it must be a strict match, unless a visitor is configured to always require wildcard matches (example, to let users do not enter '' in their search queries)
