Is it possible to apply a regex for a filter parameter in the "/documents/get_by_filters" endpoint?

[milen-dimitrov]

I'm trying to make a document retrieval request that searches documents for the entered search text in either their content OR their filename

If I make the filter like that
{ "filters": { "content": "cookies", "name": "cookies" } }

It looks for files containing the text correctly but the filename has to be an exact match.
The implementation applies a "* searchtext *" regex to the 'content' parameter by default.

How can I apply such a regex to the 'name' parameter or another meta property?
Is this possible at all or I have to create a custom endpoint with my own implementation?

For example I want to be able to match the following documents when I enter the word "cookies":

• cookies123.pdf
• chocolate_chip_cookies.txt
• recipe12.pdf (contains "cookies" in the content)

Note that I can achieve this directly with Opensearch using the following query:
content: *cookies* OR name: *cookies*
but I don't want my application code to include an API client for Opensearch too.

For now unfortunately metadata filtering supports only exact matches. If that makes sense in your scenario, you may consider adding some more metadata with the keywords you're interested in querying, like {'category': 'cookies'}. Otherwise I'm afraid you'll have to implement this feature separately.

Alright. Thanks for the response!
