Thank you! 🙏 Could you share more about the use case needed for this feature?
I have a set of entities I import from an external system, and they are tagged with their location in that external system. But if I need to update them to a new instance of said system I need to be able to search for the entities with X characteristic and where a certain label value does not match a LIKE pattern.

@vinzscam your thoughts?
Hi! We discussed it some time ago and I hoped to get back with a plan but then vacations started.
My take is that the current filters have some historical baggage and drawbacks that makes me hesitant to pull in any further features on top of them. Instead, we may want to start drawing up a bigger picture refactor of what the future of filtering should look like, some time down the line, allowing for improvements like this to be added on top.
We'll give it some more discussion later on and get back.
