Hi,
how does the "contains" filter exactly work in filtering.
For example if i have the string "User experience" and im filtering the "notes" field with it.

Will it only find the notes with the entire string "User experience" or with either "user" or "experience" or both.

In most basic implementations, using a "contains" filter with the string "User experience" will look for notes that include the entire substring "User experience" as it is. It won't automatically find notes with just "user" or "experience" unless the system specifically supports and is configured to perform such token-based searches or is using full-text search capabilities.

If you want to match only the exact phrase "User experience", you would need to use the "equals" filter instead, which requires the entire target field to exactly match the provided text.
