• Filters – An array of PropertyPredicate objects.

  A list of key-value pairs, and a comparator used to filter the search results. Returns all entities matching the predicate.

  The Comparator member of the PropertyPredicate struct is used only for time fields, and can be omitted for other field types.

The Key field (for example, the value of the Name field) is split on certain punctuation characters, for example, -, :, #, etc. into tokens. Then each token is exact-match compared with the Value member of PropertyPredicate. For example, if Key=Name and Value=link, tables named customer-link and xx-link-yy are returned, but xxlinkyy is not returned.
