Builder for defining search filters.

A search filter is a chained list of:

  1. One search expression constructed with .search.
  2. Zero or more equality expressions constructed with .eq.

The search expression must search for text in the index's searchField. The filter expressions can use any of the filterFields defined in the index.

For all other filtering use filter.

To learn about full text search, see Indexes.
