hasprefix_cs operator

Applies to: ✅ Microsoft FabricAzure Data ExplorerAzure MonitorMicrosoft Sentinel

Filters a record set for data with a case-sensitive starting string.

For best performance, use strings of three characters or more. hasprefix_cs searches for indexed terms, where a term is three or more characters. If your term is fewer than three characters, the query scans the values in the column, which is slower than looking up the term in the term index.

The following table compares the hasprefix operators using the abbreviations provided:

  • RHS = right-hand side of the expression
  • LHS = left-hand side of the expression
Operator Description Case-Sensitive Example (yields true)
hasprefix RHS is a term prefix in LHS No "North America" hasprefix "ame"
!hasprefix RHS isn't a term prefix in LHS No "North America" !hasprefix "mer"
hasprefix_cs RHS is a term prefix in LHS Yes "North America" hasprefix_cs "Ame"
!hasprefix_cs RHS isn't a term prefix in LHS Yes "North America" !hasprefix_cs "CA"

For more information about other operators and to determine which operator is most appropriate for your query, see datatype string operators.
