hi,
is there a way to implement the LIKE functionality for attribute_filter?
e.g. from documentation, I would like to find all nodes whose Text attribute contains the word "the". So, I'd like to pass as condition not "=" but "%" for contains (a-la-mysql).
as far as I know, attribute_filter allows me only to search for the exact match, unless I write my own search extension.
As this is - I suppose - a VERY common need for eZ programmers, I am wondering whether there is a simpler/quicker way.

Hi
This was added in 3.6, see
http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/stable/3.6/doc/features/3.6/content_tree_enhanced_filters.txt
I also created patches againts 3.5.2 and 3.4.6. Still have to do it for the 3.5.3 and 3.4.7 releases:
