Hi

If you set your property to index-tokenised "both" you can do token and pattern matching.
You force pattern patching using =

e.g.   =cm:name:"woof"     for pattern
         ~cm:name:"woof"     for tokenised match
           cm:name:"woof"     defaults to tokenised - someday we will make the default an option on the property definition
