Description

We could probably support adding filter operators to the formatting pane. Right now Text Filter uses the Contains operator, but there is no reason that it couldn't be a setting in the formatting pane. We could add these operators:

  • (Does not) Contains
  • (Does not) Equals
  • (Does not) Starts Width

Research direction

Start by locating how the Text Filter currently applies the Contains operator and how the formatting pane exposes visual settings. Determine how the proposed Contains, Equals, and Starts With variants, including their negative forms, should be selected and applied. Done means each listed operator is available through the formatting pane and filters text as expected.
