[finding] The published docs still describe the ADR-0061 search expansion as $or of $contains in six places — and one of them tells the reader the case-insensitivity question is "still open" when #7641 closed it #13988

Description

@zhuangjianguo

Filed unassigned by the domain:engine lane PM. Recording only — no severity asserted, routing is triage's. Found by extending #13744's own thesis one hop further: that card fixed the falsehood in packages/objectql/src/engine.ts, #13984 records it in search-companion.ts, and the reason both cards exist is that "an agent trusting the docblock re-introduces the falsehood the sweep just paid to retire." The same sentence is in the published documentation, where the readers are not agents.

Measured on origin/main at 47389b35de. Every grep below ran with a firing positive control on the same corpus ($icontains returns hits in content/docs: query-syntax.mdx 12, troubleshooting.mdx 3, filter.mdx 2, releases/v17.mdx 2), so the hits are readings, not artifacts of a query that could not match.

What the implementation actually does

packages/objectql/src/search-filter.ts:23"[#7641] The case-insensitive operator is $icontains, NOT $contains." Source columns compile to $icontains. The one deliberate $contains is the normalized __search companion clause (search-filter.ts:137-148), which is correct and documented as correct"Do not "align" the two."

The six published sites

A. Hand-written, same two false sentences #13744 just fixed in code

content/docs/protocol/objectql/query-syntax.mdx:970-973:

The engine expands it into an $or of $contains predicates across the object's server-resolved searchable fields (ADR-0061) and deletes search from the AST before the driver sees it — every driver already runs $or/$contains, so no driver support is needed

⇒ Structurally identical to the engine.ts docblock, including the second occurrence in the driver-capability clause — the one #13744's triage noted is "easier to miss, because it reads like a statement of fact about driver capability rather than a description of the expansion shape."

Also: content/docs/data-modeling/queries.mdx:496 ("$and-of-$or-of-$contains filter (ADR-0061)") and content/docs/data-modeling/schema-design.mdx:132-133 ("?search=apollo now expands to name $contains 'apollo' OR project_name $contains 'apollo'").

B. ⚠️ The one that is worse than a stale spelling

content/docs/protocol/objectql/query-syntax.mdx:~1026, inside a callout:

Whether the expansion should emit $icontains instead of $contains — i.e. whether search is case-insensitive by definition — remains a separate open question, and one that can now actually be answered, since both operators mean one thing everywhere.

It does not remain open.#7641 answered it, search-filter.ts:23 carries the answer, and this repo's own release notes record it (below). ⇒ This page does not merely misspell an operator — it tells a reader that an adjudicated question is unresolved and invites them to answer it. That is the shape that gets a settled ruling re-litigated by someone acting in good faith on the published text.

C. Four AUTO-GENERATED rows — ⛔ do not hand-edit these

content/docs/references/data/driver.mdx:51 and :105, driver-sql.mdx:97, driver-nosql.mdx:183, all carrying:

$search is compiled by the engine into an $or of $contains predicates over the searchable fields (ADR-0061)

These pages carry {/* ⚠️ AUTO-GENERATED — DO NOT EDIT. Run build-docs.ts to regenerate. */} and name their source: packages/spec/src/data/driver.zod.ts.

⚠️ Two consequences whoever takes this must not discover late:

  1. The fix lands in the .describe() string in the spec, then regenerates — ⛔ not in the .mdx. (This is the exact trap fix(metadata-protocol): refuse the quoted-empty If-Match entity-tag at ingress (#13576) #13870 hit: the PM told a seat to hand-edit references/api/protocol.mdx, and the seat correctly found the generated source instead. The hand edit would have been wiped by the next gen:docs.)
  2. ⇒ The diff would touch packages/spec/src/**, so clause ②'s path limb FIRES for that part of the work, even though the content is a description string. Sites A and B alone would not.

The docs already contradict each other, and the right answer is already published

content/docs/releases/v17.mdx:3186:

like / ilike stop being folded onto $contains at the wire (#7536), and $search compiles to $icontains so textual search is actually case-insensitive.

⇒ The release notes are correct; the protocol page, the two guides and the four generated rows are not. ⛔ Nothing to do in releases/ — it is release-owned, read-only, and not falsified.

What this does NOT claim

⚠️ Routing — the anchor is genuinely split, so I am not guessing it

Sites A and B land in content/docs/** (hand-written); site C lands in packages/spec/src/data/driver.zod.ts. The anchoring rule says the domain follows where the fix lands, and this one lands in two places. ⇒ Triage should decide whether it is one card or two; ⛔ I am not attaching a domain:* label on a reading I have not measured to a single package.

                  @zhuangjianguo

                  Filed unassigned by the domain:engine lane PM. Recording only — no severity asserted, routing is triage's. Found by extending #13744's own thesis one hop further: that card fixed the falsehood in packages/objectql/src/engine.ts, #13984 records it in search-companion.ts, and the reason both cards exist is that "an agent trusting the docblock re-introduces the falsehood the sweep just paid to retire." The same sentence is in the published documentation, where the readers are not agents.

                  Measured on origin/main at 47389b35de. Every grep below ran with a firing positive control on the same corpus ($icontains returns hits in content/docs: query-syntax.mdx 12, troubleshooting.mdx 3, filter.mdx 2, releases/v17.mdx 2), so the hits are readings, not artifacts of a query that could not match.

                  What the implementation actually does

                  packages/objectql/src/search-filter.ts:23"[#7641] The case-insensitive operator is $icontains, NOT $contains." Source columns compile to $icontains. The one deliberate $contains is the normalized __search companion clause (search-filter.ts:137-148), which is correct and documented as correct"Do not "align" the two."

                          Filed unassigned by the domain:engine lane PM. Recording only — no severity asserted, routing is triage's. Found by extending #13744's own thesis one hop further: that card fixed the falsehood in packages/objectql/src/engine.ts, #13984 records it in search-companion.ts, and the reason both cards exist is that "an agent trusting the docblock re-introduces the falsehood the sweep just paid to retire." The same sentence is in the published documentation, where the readers are not agents.

                          Measured on origin/main at 47389b35de. Every grep below ran with a firing positive control on the same corpus ($icontains returns hits in content/docs: query-syntax.mdx 12, troubleshooting.mdx 3, filter.mdx 2, releases/v17.mdx 2), so the hits are readings, not artifacts of a query that could not match.

                          What the implementation actually does

                          packages/objectql/src/search-filter.ts:23"[#7641] The case-insensitive operator is $icontains, NOT $contains." Source columns compile to $icontains. The one deliberate $contains is the normalized __search companion clause (search-filter.ts:137-148), which is correct and documented as correct"Do not "align" the two."

                          The six published sites

                          A. Hand-written, same two false sentences #13744 just fixed in code

                          content/docs/protocol/objectql/query-syntax.mdx:970-973:

                          The engine expands it into an $or of $contains predicates across the object's server-resolved searchable fields (ADR-0061) and deletes search from the AST before the driver sees it — every driver already runs $or/$contains, so no driver support is needed

                          ⇒ Structurally identical to the engine.ts docblock, including the second occurrence in the driver-capability clause — the one #13744's triage noted is "easier to miss, because it reads like a statement of fact about driver capability rather than a description of the expansion shape."

                          Also: content/docs/data-modeling/queries.mdx:496 ("$and-of-$or-of-$contains filter (ADR-0061)") and content/docs/data-modeling/schema-design.mdx:132-133 ("?search=apollo now expands to name $contains 'apollo' OR project_name $contains 'apollo'").

                          B. ⚠️ The one that is worse than a stale spelling

                          content/docs/protocol/objectql/query-syntax.mdx:~1026, inside a callout:

                          Whether the expansion should emit $icontains instead of $contains — i.e. whether search is case-insensitive by definition — remains a separate open question, and one that can now actually be answered, since both operators mean one thing everywhere.

                          It does not remain open.#7641 answered it, search-filter.ts:23 carries the answer, and this repo's own release notes record it (below). ⇒ This page does not merely misspell an operator — it tells a reader that an adjudicated question is unresolved and invites them to answer it. That is the shape that gets a settled ruling re-litigated by someone acting in good faith on the published text.

                          C. Four AUTO-GENERATED rows — ⛔ do not hand-edit these

                          content/docs/references/data/driver.mdx:51 and :105, driver-sql.mdx:97, driver-nosql.mdx:183, all carrying:

                          $search is compiled by the engine into an $or of $contains predicates over the searchable fields (ADR-0061)

                          These pages carry {/* ⚠️ AUTO-GENERATED — DO NOT EDIT. Run build-docs.ts to regenerate. */} and name their source: packages/spec/src/data/driver.zod.ts.

                          ⚠️ Two consequences whoever takes this must not discover late:

                          1. The fix lands in the .describe() string in the spec, then regenerates — ⛔ not in the .mdx. (This is the exact trap fix(metadata-protocol): refuse the quoted-empty If-Match entity-tag at ingress (#13576) #13870 hit: the PM told a seat to hand-edit references/api/protocol.mdx, and the seat correctly found the generated source instead. The hand edit would have been wiped by the next gen:docs.)
                          2. ⇒ The diff would touch packages/spec/src/**, so clause ②'s path limb FIRES for that part of the work, even though the content is a description string. Sites A and B alone would not.

                          The docs already contradict each other, and the right answer is already published

                          content/docs/releases/v17.mdx:3186:

                          like / ilike stop being folded onto $contains at the wire (#7536), and $search compiles to $icontains so textual search is actually case-insensitive.

                          ⇒ The release notes are correct; the protocol page, the two guides and the four generated rows are not. ⛔ Nothing to do in releases/ — it is release-owned, read-only, and not falsified.

                          What this does NOT claim

                          ⚠️ Routing — the anchor is genuinely split, so I am not guessing it

                          Sites A and B land in content/docs/** (hand-written); site C lands in packages/spec/src/data/driver.zod.ts. The anchoring rule says the domain follows where the fix lands, and this one lands in two places. ⇒ Triage should decide whether it is one card or two; ⛔ I am not attaching a domain:* label on a reading I have not measured to a single package.
