Filter on Text Variable dialog box
You can define expressions that are based on text strings in text variables. For example, you can define an expression that includes respondents who mention the word “noisy” in their answer.
Note All text expressions are case‑insensitive. In other words, it does not matter whether you type the text in uppercase or lowercase, because the expression matches the characters in the text and not the case in which they are entered.
