Salesforce SOSL with CONTAINS

0 votes

I noticed apps on Salesforce that could perform run CONTAINS queries. The CONTAINS filtering is possible even with the basic list filter functionality on object lists.

I tried the following with SOSL:

List<List<SObject>> searchList = [FIND '*ben* AND *berlin*' IN ALL FIELDS 
                                  RETURNING Account(Name)];

I have an account name "BigBen" in "Berlin". I am not able to find this account using upper SOSL call. I tried different combinations, but no success. How do i do SOSL calls with CONTAINS? Using the basic list filtering i am able to use CONTAINS with "ben", it gives me the expected results.

Unlike SOQL, which uses the LIKE comparison operator to support wildcards anywhere in the search word, SOSL does not allow wildcards at the start of a search term (a "starts with" search).

In this scenario, where you're only looking for one sObject, SOQL might be a better option.

I hope this helps!
