Query a Portal using PortalQueryParams with a filter containing wildcards in tags

[Dirk_Vandervoort]

I am interacting with my portal in js code. I wish to query the portal for tagged content using wildcard searches in my query filter.

Code:

const queryParams = new PortalQueryParams({
    filter: 'orgid:MyOrgID AND tags:"TES*"',
    num: 100        
});

portal.queryItems(queryParams).then(function(results){
    // no results are returned
    // we expect results to have tags like TEST, TESTER, TESTING, etc.
});

I've tried an escape character (\*) and different wildcard characters (*, %, #, etc.) with no success. 

I'm missing something obvious. Again. TIA.

Did you try omitting the quotation marks around TES*?

[Dirk_Vandervoort]

Without the double-quotes and using either TES\* or TES* returns all content (throttled at 100 in queryParams).

I think filter only accepts exact values and query is the property you should go with.
