Increase Filtering Critera Options for Data Lists

I would like to be able to use "Contains" and "One Of" as filtering criteria for Data List text fields as I do now for Ad Hoc Queries.  We share queries with other members of the organization by making Pages containing Data Lists.  The extremely limited filtering options on the Data Lists limits their functionality for us. Thank you!

    Although we are now moving most of our data analysis and reporting to Excel and Tableau, it really would be nice to be able to have better filter criteria, especially as noted below, for Blank and Not Blank.

    Hi Lori

    We've discovered that the "Equal To" data list filter operator acts as a Contains. It's just the label that is wrong... I hope that helps.

    This would also be great for ListBuilders! Currently, text/String columns can just be searched for one search term. Filters from Ad-hoc that would be helpful to ListBuilders are: "Not Blank" and "Blank". Sorting helps with blanks, but in some cases, only records with blanks in a certain column need to be shown.
