GraphQL API. How to do a search like "tags that start with ....." I can't use "*"

Hi, I have read https://shopify.dev/api/usage/search-syntax but I can get a solution.

I want to list all products with a tag that starts with some text:

query MyQuery {
  products(first: 5, , query: "tag:YEAR202*") {
    edges {
      cursor
      node {
        id
        vendor
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
    }
  }
}

Imagine that I want to list all products that are from year 2020, 2021 and 2022. (this is an example, please not say me about > or <, and image that I have lot of options so I can’t to several different calls to API)

With query: “tag:YEAR2020” works fine, but query: “tag:YEAR202*” doesn’t.

I can’t do three queries (“tag:YEAR2020”, “tag:YEAR2021”, “tag:YEAR2022” or use “or’s”) in my case because I have more than ten possibilities and changing every time.

Is not possible to do this kind of queries?

I have found that this returns results, (products(first: 5, , query: “YEAR202*”) {) but I think that it is serach for “YEAR202” string in title, description, tags, and so on. And it is very risky.

Please could anyone help me?

Thanks.

Just checking in as I’m looking for the same answer - until we have one, the best approach is probably to use the wildcard, then filter the results with stricter logic.
