The like filters allow you to query comments using an SQL-like pattern.

The like Filter

The like filter allows you to query a comment property and compare it with an SQL-like pattern. The following example queries checks the comment's content against the %panel% pattern to return all comments that contain the phrase panel somewhere in their content:

{{ meerkat:responses filter="like(content, %panel%)" }}

  {{ comments }}
    <!-- Render your comment thread here. -->
  {{ /comments }}

{{ /meerkat:responses }}

The not:like Filter

The not:like filter is the logical opposite of the like filter, and allows you to query a comment property and compare it with an SQL-like pattern. All comments that do not match the provided pattern will be returned. The following example queries checks the comment's content against the %panel% pattern to return all comments that do not contain the phrase panel somewhere in their content:

{{ meerkat:responses filter="not:like(content, %panel%)" }}

  {{ comments }}
    <!-- Render your comment thread here. -->
  {{ /comments }}

{{ /meerkat:responses }}
