076 - Search phrase "contains:table" does not work

[AlbertR 727]

Problem Description

• Search phrase "contains:table" (as described in Use advanced search syntax) shows NO results in all cases
• OK, nobody uses this phrase stand-alone - but it might be useful to shrink down other searches...

Expected behaviour

• Should work as documented

Workaround

• no - it simply nullifies all search patterns

Background information (See also...)

• Already opened Support Tickets: #4019311

The filter equivalent no longer exists. In fact the items in the "contains" drop down in the filter seems to have been dramatically culled.

Using the contains: method for some of the items that no longer appear in the filter menu seems to work OK.

I noticed that too. Sad.

I'm disappointed that the option to filter specifically for pdfs is gone.  I have been using that pretty often.

Try "resource:application/pdf" to list notes that contain PDF files

Thanks.  Good solution.  I'll put that on my scratchpad so I get the search time right every time.
