Simple filter question

[Thomas_Chuffart]

I want to use this filter [field:catégorie<currentTiddler>] in a tiddler named A.
Tiddlers have a catégorie field but with multiple titles in it A B C [[D and D]].

So this filter doesn’t find anything.

How to list tiddlers that have at least A in their catégorie field ?

In this kind of situation I’m always struggling to find how to build a suitable filtrer.
(I wish that powersearch of @EricShulman had contains in his FilterMaker…)

[field:catégorie<currentTiddler>]

You seem to already know the answer! Just use the contains operator instead of field, like this:

 [contains:catégorie<currentTiddler>]

Quoting myself from a while back:

Also, as to whether it’s obvious, I think of an old chestnut that’s gone around the science/math tech communities for years:

The professor (Pauli, Von Neuman, Hardy, Feynmann, you name it) was lecturing along, and said, “It’s obvious that [something or other]” and a student pipes up, “I don’t see why.” The professor stops and stares at the board for a minute… two minutes… five minutes. The class ends with the prof still starting at the board. The next day, the prof spends the class in an abstruse lecture that leaves the students breathless, struggling to keep up, finishing up with the statement under question. Says the prof, “See, I knew it was obvious.”
