Maybe someone in the community knows -
I have a Thing, for example a Contact.
This Thing has a list of texts attached to it, for example, there is a list of text notes in the Contact.
Is it possible to do a search of the list of texts, and return Contacts which have have a PARTIAL SEARCH match among the text.
Is this possible?
It’s better if you provide examples but based on what I understand it’s possible, you can do regex for searching and return that Contact based on the regex result.
I am not certain I fully get what you’re trying to do.
But look into using the “contains” in the search…
Hi:
So as an example, I have a Thing Contact with the fields:
I have a sample record Contact with Contact Name Michelle. I’ve attached Notes such as"Only Contact on Viber"; “Wife of John”
I want to search Notes for “wife” and return the Contact Michelle.
I think this example is what you are looking for - does that make sense to you or I can clarify furhter if you wish.
Thank you so much for answering this - it’s been a bit confusing to me.
Thank you for your reply.
Contains returns only complete and case sensitive matches however - I’m trying to return a partial match.
Please double check that…
I believe Contains returns partial matches (note there’s also “contains keyword(s)” which is different and matches whole words).
However, for the case-sensitive issue, I worked on that on two different apps recently.
You can create a new field just for these searches, and when you save the data you intend to search also save to it, but in lowercase.
Hi Buddha:
I mix up contains and contains keyword, so you may be correct.
