custom filtering that only starts with the first letter of the query based on highlighted column

hi!

before my question, i'd like to tell you guys that this plugin is a really, really really really great plugin. hehe!

my question..

is there a way where i can just type into the filter box, but the way it works would be..
if I started with the letters "ap", only the rows that have some cells starting with the letters "ap" would appear?

and if that is possible, is it also possible that i can narrow results by something like..
it will only display rows containing cells that start with "ap", but only if it is under the currently selected column?

i've found a recent forum post regarding this issue that has taken apple and banana as example strings, but its already closed.

i wonder if there's a function where i can just add in the configuration something like this: "filterType": "start"/"contains"/"end" without having to resort to regex and should add extra keypress event handlers in order to explicitly tell the script that it should specifically filter the results based on a given string?

thanks a lot!
