ne( )

Creates a search filter for matching documents whose specified field value does not equal the specified value.

Description

The ne() function is chained to a WixSearchFilterBuilder to create a WixSearchFilter. You can use the filter to match documents where the value of the specified field does not equal the specified value.

ne() only matches values of the same type. For example, a number value stored as a String type is considered not equal to the same number stored as a Number type.

Matching strings with ne() is case sensitive, so "text" is not equal to "Text".

Create filters and add them to a search

This example demonstrates how to create filters that search for forum posts that are not in the specified category, that were posted by one of the specified owners, and that contain at least one of the specified hashtags. The filters are joined and chained to a search using an and() filter.
