Default Searching for first 3 characters

Hi-

I am trying to search for the first 3 characters of a list of part
numbers. The part numbers I am trying to filter out start with the
same 3 letters, but the next 4 numbers in the part number could be
anything (ex. "ABC1234", "ABC2345").

How can I search the cells for anything containing those first three
letters?

-Melissa
