Description
To improve the user experience when searching the inventory by a particular property, the Cumulocity platform changes
its behavior for searches by filter with wildcards. Queries using the query language with wildcards now behave case-insensitive. Previously, such queries were processed with a case-sensitive strategy.
Example request:
GET /inventory/managedObjects?query=name+eq+'my-device*
can now return devices with names equal 'my-device01' or 'My-Device02'.
Queries without a wildcard character remain unchanged and use the exact match for optimal performance. This means that the example request:
GET /inventory/managedObjects?query=name+eq+'My-device01'
will not return a device with a name equal 'my-device01'.
