ne( )

Refines a query to match items where the specified property doesn't equal the specified value.

The ne() function refines a RulesQueryBuilder to match only items where the value of the specified propertyName doesn't equal the specified value. ne() matches only values of the same type. For example, 0 stored as a number doesn't match '0' stored as a string. Matching strings with ne() is case-sensitive, so 'text' isn't equal to 'Text'.
