Yeah, sorry, meant "ilike". I was asking for one2many and many2many.

What I sometimes need is the contrary of "in"
so in your example [('foo_ids', 'in', [id,id2])]$
I want to actually rather test that id is inside the foo_ids collection.
This is kind of possible with "ilike". You can for instance search all
orders having a given product name, but this is not very robust because of
the reasons I gave. I would sometimes need a robust test based on ids and I
think it just makes as much sense.
What do you think?
Thank you for your time.
