im looking for a way so when the user performs a search by default the match is any part of field in stead of whole field, also any possible solutions on how to make it easier for the user to search any field

In Tools | Options - Edit/Find tab, try setting default find/replace behavior to General Search (I think). You may have to restart Access.
