# Event Definition Filters

Event definition filters give you a way to narrow down your event definitions. You can limit event definitions to a specific page, a specific domain, or a number of other options.

| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Contains         | Contains checks that the property value contain the given string of characters. As an example, the value `freshpaint` contains the string `paint`.                                                                                                                                     |
| Does not contain | Allows you to search for property values that do not contain the given string of characters.                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| Matches          | Matches allows you to use `*` to match any string of characters. This allows you to match certain URL patterns. As an example, the URL pattern `/docs/*/page/*` will match both the property values `/docs/directory1/page/abc` and `/docs/directory2/page/123`.                       |
| Does not match   | Allows you to search for values that do not match any string of characters.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| Equals           | Equals checks that the property value is the same as the provided string.                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| Does not equal   | Checks that the property value is not the same as the provided string.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| Any of           | <p>This will match on any of the values selected for a given property, granting the ability to do some simple OR logic within a given property.<br><br>This matches with the same wildcard <code>\*</code> matching logic as the <code>Matches</code> type Filter described above.</p> |
