use text/yui field in search for fields widget:type=select

Hello,

I hope someone can help me to understand how to search using wildcards on a field that is declared as widget:type=select.

I have some fields declared as widget:type=select. they all have their own vocabularies and they work perfectly when editing/adding items to the database.
But when I switch to the find tab, those fields appear as multiselect widgets, filled with the contents from the vocabulary.

What I'm trying to do is to be able to search by using partial matches or wildcards instead of choosing the items from a list.

Is there a way to change the widget:type for a particular field (let's say to yui_autocomplete or text) but only when i am in the find tab?
If this is not possible, what are the alternatives?

Thank you in advance,

Giuseppe
