Description

Currently we store logs in the table storage. To analyze them we usually have to search for exceptions and ignore transient exceptions, this is why I would like to have these operators.

Currently what I am doing I am exporting my time range to CSV and import in my local Express SQL instance to do something like Message like '%exception%' and Message not like '%transientException%', having these operators in the Storage Explorer would spare a lot of the steps and of course time.

It is clear that this might not be that performant, but it will be for sure faster that exporting everything and importing it into SQL Server...
