Hello,

I'd like to retrive all Sharepoint pages of a site with a specific icon in the title. I proceed like this:

But it returns all the lines. So it works only with Filter array action but how it can works with filter query to improve performance of this flow?

Filter query with an icon in the title

SharePoint ODATA filters don't support emoji. The filter will automatically strip any emoji from the search string and return results for any matching field that contains the search string without the emoji.

For example, in your search you're only looking for the emoji character, so SP strips that and returns all rows containing the value of '' (nothing), which is all that are not NULL.

If you set a Title field to '123456🆕' and ran the ODATA filter Title eq '123456' you would get the row containing the emoji, even though it's in the Title and not in the filter query, because SP strips it from the searched field.

There is currently no way to accomplish what you're trying to do other than ditching the emoji and using text instead.

Hello Victor,

contains is not recognized as operator for OData filter.

Hello,

if you mean a letter in the title., try to use the contains() function.
