如何使用OData按值的一部分进行过滤？

Question

I have a table where lies some data and I change shown data according to some conditions (using OData). For example:

"(LastDate eq null or LastDate ge datetime'" + date + "')"

or

"Status eq 0"

Now I need to filer what is shown in my table by some value from textbox and there are problem. I have used second thing:

"(Order eq '" + search + "' or SellerName eq '" + search + "' or ItemType eq '" + search + "' or ItemDescription eq '" + search + "')"

Works fine EXCEPT that this is eq. I need to find item not only by full match. I saw that there could be used so called contains , but I didn't get how it supposed to look if I have many or . And... I simply reveived An unknown function with name 'contains' was found error.

How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

the .net implementation of OData has support for "substringof" that works the same as you would expect a contains to work. eg:

filter=substringof(SellerName, ‘urn’)

Returns records with SellerNames containing the string “urn”.

You can or them togeather like what you have already with eq.

filter=substringof(SellerName, ‘urn’) or substringof(Order, ‘urn’)

Answer 2

Please try this below var columnVal = value.toLowerCase();

?$filter= (indexof(tolower(COLUMN_ID), columnVal)) gt -1

This is working for me.
