    Ability to do a MQL query based a field containing a sub-string
    Body:

    We'd like to select cards based on a SQL-like "contains" approach so we can grab groups of cards based on some common sub-string that is contained in a field.

    SELECT 'iteration', count(*) WHERE 'story status' contains 'open'

      Yes, yes, yes.  It would be helpful to be able to search for a substring within a text property value.

      Hi all

      Can you provide further explaination of what you would use this for?

      Chad's example could be achieved with "story status = open" so I'm trying to better understand what is missing that you are looking for. 

      Thanks

        In an advanced filter, the ability to match a substring from a text property, such as Description, in combination with other property values would provide a more fine-grained ability to find cards than is presently available. While Search will find a substring within Description, as far as I can tell, it's a rather blunt instrument if the substring is not particularly unique.
