Batch editor search

Hey guys, I would like to see the option to be able to search starting with. For example, I have SKU numbers like 01010001. The first four chars is my product group, the last four chars is my item number. 

I have SKU numbers like 01010123 and 03010101. A serach for 01010 will bring up both while I only need SKU in the range 01010001 and higher.

A simple ^ like search starting with woule be great and very easy to implement.

Kind regards,

Ton
