Dear strapi community!
I’m quite new to strapi and building a practice project containing a vehicle database.
My question is if I can query (fetch from frontend app) entries based on a fragment of a string?

-Example1:
-query:
/vehicles?brand=Opel
-result:
all vehicles which brand is “Opel”

-Example2:
-query:
/vehicles?brand=e
-result:
all vehicles which brand is strictly “e”. Which there are none, but I’d like to find all entries which name contain “e” like “Opel”, “Renault”, “Citroen” …

Is there a way to do it in a default strapi app or I have to modify the backend for it to work?

Thank you for the help!

Fortunately one dear friend answered my noobish question. -,- If anyone wonders it’s in the documentation:
