Nope, I'll take a look and see if it solves my problem. If it does, I'll report back for the benefit of others. :-)

Thanks,

Leon,

Have you tried a view-entity (or DynamicViewEntity) with a complex-alias?

Hi folks,

Is there a way to do concatenation using entity engine? If not, how hard would it be to implement? Maybe I can take a shot at it.

I'm researching the options for doing searches on several string fields and the only practical way I can solve the problem is to concatenate the fields in a defined order and do a LIKE match. This is the only search space that seems to work for the intended feature: To allow a search on firstName + lastName so that if the user types in "Leon Tor", the result set conains "Leon Tor%" and not "Leon Alpha" or any results where lastName doesn't start with "Tor".
