Querying a string array attribute
I have a collection that has a string array, and when I use Query.equal it returns nothing. Do I need to use Query.search and do a fulltext index instead?
TL;DR
Currently, there is no official support for querying string arrays in Appwrite. However, there is a workaround available using a full-text index and the search query. This workaround is not officially supported. If you need to query a string array, consider using Query.search instead of Query.equal and utilizing a full-text index.
Queries on arrays are coming soon: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/2838.
There's a hack that uses a full text index and the search query, but that's not officially supported
