# Method name: ne(field: string, value: any)

# Method package: wixSearch

# Method menu location: wixSearch --> WixSearchBuilder --> ne

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-search/wix-search-builder/ne.md

# Method Description:

Refines a search to match documents whose specified field value does not equal the specified value.

The `ne()` filter function refines a `WixSearchBuilder` to only
 match documents where the value of the specified field does not equal the specified `value`.

 `ne()` only matches values of the same type. For example, a number value stored
 as a String type is considered not equal to the same number stored as a Number type.

 Matching strings with `ne()` is case sensitive, so `"text"` is not equal to `"Text"`.

 If other filters were previously used in the same `WixSearchBuilder` instance, `ne()`
 is applied using an `and` condition with previously set filters.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Add a not equals filter to a search

```javascript
let newSearch = search
  .documentType("Forum/Content")
  .ne("categoryId", "5df7504fa9a9b30017fc1053");
```

## Create a search, add a not equals filter, and run it

```javascript
import wixSearch from 'wix-search';

// ...

wixSearch.search()
  .documentType("Stores/Products")
  .ne("sku", "SHO-11-BLA")
  .find()
  .then( (results) => {
    if(results.documents.length > 0) {
      let documents = results.documents;
    } else {
      console.log("No matching results");
    }
  })
  .catch( (error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });


```
