Hey @artanisdesign - sorry for the inconvenience here. I just checked, and it looks like the documentation for this feature went out before it was actually implemented. It should be coming soon, but for now I'm going to remove it from the docs (https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/data-connect/gql/input_object#String_Filter)

If there is somewhere else that you noticed this documented, please let me know!

In the meantime, I'd recommend using contains instead to implement similar operations - ie:

query getItemsByName($name: String) { matchRegex: items(where: {title: {contains: $name}}){ title } }

hi @joehan thanks for the reply.

yea.. i've been using contains.. problem is with that one its case sensitive.. so basically i had to create a searchstring property.. which is lowercase.. to make contains work. not ideal.. but i guess will have to do until pattern becomes available.
