Hi guys is it possible to delete documents by filtering with

date

(string field) if it it contains for example 'May'

Yes, https://typesense.org/docs/0.24.1/api/documents.html#delete-by-query

Will it also delete docs with string like 'May 12'

Hm, I think

:=

works as

strictly equal

You can use

{ filter_by: 'date: May' }

Which can filter docs that are not strictly equal, but contain the inputted string as a word.

Ok thanks 👍

Confirming that

:=

is indeed exact filtering.

:

is word-level contains filtering
