Change Default Filter Behavior

Is there a way to change the default filter behavior to "Is" rather than "Contains"? I think previous versions defaulted to "Is" and I'm trying to get back to that.

Thanks!

yeah, the default for some reason was changed to contains, but you can switch that from the UI

We can change the default in the UI, or change it each time we need to run the filter? If the former, where is that choice located?
