Is it possible to make a query that allows you to search for a word or text within a document? for example to search for “hello” in all the documents of a certain type of either in its title or its description (PRIORITIZING THAT IT IS IN THE TITLE)

Is this for site or authoring part? You can use:

```auto
constraint("myproject:propertyname").contains(query) 

```

Hi,  
`.constraint` is a public static function, please import it from `org.hippoecm.hst.content.beans.query.builder.ConstraintBuilder#constraint`
