NOT LIKE Operator for Filters or something similar

[kemp12322]

Since we already have a NOT operator, is it possible to add a NOT LIKE operator or something similar?

I have a search functionality that I need to implement.
It has a functionality to get all items that does not contain a dynamic keyword.

Is there a way to implement this in our latest version?

if not maybe we can look at implementing something like this:

client.index('movies').search('operator:NOT keyword:Batman')

// OR

client.index('movies').search('', {
  filter: ['NOT LIKE name = 'Batman']
})

so basically this gets all the movies that does not contain "Batman".
lets say we have this array

[
  {
     name: 'The Dark Knight Rises'
  },
  
  {
     name: 'Batman Begins'
  },

  {
     name: 'The Batman'
  },
]

The result would only return:

[
  {
     name: 'The Dark Knight Rises'
  }
]

What do you guys think?

Hello @kemp12322 👋

We plan to explore a CONTAINS/LIKE operator soon. The NOT should be natively supported when we will add it.

Please, follow that discussion if you want to be updated about it.
