As described in above community entry, I was briefly able to have Intellisense work with a fuzzy match search in my June 2022 QFE 1 / 2.106.883.0 version of PowerBI desktop. It would be amazing to have a possibility to change how Intellisense searches for tables and columns, as by having a large Dataset it becomes harder to remember the exact names used for tables and colums, hence it would be easier to just be able to search with a part of characters appearing in the table and column name and by this effectively getting quicker to the right item to select from the options given by Intellisense.

(as a addition, this would also be great in excel / any office application with an Intellisense Formula Engine, as in the case of excel it is also rather cumbersome to get to the right column in a quick way)
