Description memyselfi 2003-10-17 21:15:43 UTC 
When filtering text, a "contain" and a "does not contain" option would come in 
handy. The current operators (>, <, =, etc) is only useful when the data being 
filtered consists of predetermined flags.

e.g. filter all names that contain the letters certain letters like "don". This 
will extract Donald, McDonald, Madonna, Caledonia, etc.

Been fiddling with the program and noticed in the help menu that OOo 
does have this. However, this feature does not work. There's no way 
of entering the criterion in the search fields.

Is this feature incomplete?

Hi,

this feature is implemented. Use regular expresssions for it. Have a
look under More in the Standard filter dialog.
