Used in various places for filtering string properties. It supports prefix, suffix, infix, wildcard or regex searches as well as finding missing values.

Example: Run a prefix search to find “abc”, “abcd” but not “abxxx”:

"(string property)" : {
    "value": "abc", 
    "mode": "Prefix"
}

OPTIONS

The value property is the string or pattern to search.

The mode property defines the type of search:

• Plain : Find strings that match exactly.

• Prefix: Find strings starting with the value.

• Suffix: Find strings ending with the value.

• Infix: Find strings containing the value

• Wildcards: Find strings by this wildcard pattern. You can use * which stands for no character or any number of characters. Use ? to stand for zero or one character.

  • Example: “abc*xyz” finds “abcxyz”, “abc…..xyz” but not “…abcxyz…” or “alpha”

• Regex: The value must be a valid regular expression. Please note that we only support the basic regex features.

• Empty: Find strings without value. The value-property is disregarded and can be omitted with this mode.

CASE DIFFERENCES

In most cases, the search disregards case.

Unless otherwise specified with the property.

EXAMPLES

Find strings that are numbers:

"(string property)": { "value": "[0-9]+", "mode": "Regex" }

Find strings that contain “abc” in any position:

"(string property)": { "value": ".*abc.*", "mode": "Regex" }
