AXIS 7000/FX User's Manual
The attribute types are used to create search filters. There are six types
of basic search filters and the syntax of the filters is in the
<attribute><operator><value> format. Complex search filters can
easily be constructed by combining these basic search filters and other
complex filters using the Boolean operations AND, OR and NOT. The
six basic filter components are presented in the table below:
Filter Type Format
Equality (<attr>=<val
ue>)
Approximate (<attr>~=<va
lue>)
Substring (<attr>=[<le
ading>]*[<an
y>]*[<traili
ng>])
Greater than (<attr>>=<va
or equal lue>)
Less or (<attr><=<va
equal than lue>)
Presence (<attr>=*)
