    Hi Hina,



    You can use * and ? wildcard characters for that. For example:



    item("flight*") will get an item that starts with "flight"

    item("*flight") will get an item that ends with "flight"

    item("*flight*") will get an item that contains "flight"



    Asterisk is for n quantity of characters, while ? is for as many characters as symbols (??? will be 3 characters)



    You can find more information in this article.



    Hope it helped!
