Search string by Starts With using the Text Filter visualization

I'm using the text filter visualiztion to filter out parcels that have sold in the past year in my area. Is there anyway to search the list of parcels sold by if the string starts with a particular string? Similar to how sql has the like and wildcard % operator. 

 

For example I have a list of parcels which are alpha numerical

 

11029000X0210

11027000KL0210

1210600P0410

1407100000210

21011900D0040

2102200150000

2103262080000

32202100B0090

4632100000030

 

I only want the data with parcels that begin with 21 because that represents the area I am looking at. If I just search 21 all of these show up instead.

 

Thanks for any help on the issue.

@Cosmos1012 Unfortunately there is nothing like SQL %.
