basically I want to query

or

tag = testtag

check below query for reference

    products(first:2,query:"title:D\'Addario OR tag:testag", ){

        pageInfo {
        hasNextPage
        hasPreviousPage
        }
        edges {
        cursor
        node {
            id
            title
        }
        }

Hi @pawanthalia

Hope you’re having a great day!

Shopify supports the ability to escape special characters using backslash escaping. The current list of special characters is:

: \ ( )

So correct query is:

{
  products(first: 2, query: "title:D'Addario* OR tag:testag") {
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
      hasPreviousPage
    }
    edges {
      cursor
      node {
        id
        title
      }
    }
  }
}

A prefix query will match documents containing terms that begin with a specified set of characters.

query=D’Addario*

This will search for all terms that begin with the prefix “D’Addario”. For example, “D’Addario Test”.

Adding to the accepted answer, I’d like to share with you how to escape double quotes since it’s a bit tricky and took me a while to do it, here goes:

{
  products(first: 2, query: """My name is "Bob" and this is my wife's car"""){
   ...
  }
}
