Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Fabric ✅ Azure Data Explorer ✅ Azure Monitor ✅ Microsoft Sentinel

Filters a record set for data with a case-sensitive starting string.

For best performance, use strings of three characters or more. hasprefix_cs searches for indexed terms, where a term is three or more characters. If your term is fewer than three characters, the query scans the values in the column, which is slower than looking up the term in the term index.

The following table compares the hasprefix operators using the abbreviations provided:

RHS = right-hand side of the expression
LHS = left-hand side of the expression

Operator	Description	Case-Sensitive	Example (yields `true`)
`hasprefix`	RHS is a term prefix in LHS	No	`"North America" hasprefix "ame"`
`!hasprefix`	RHS isn't a term prefix in LHS	No	`"North America" !hasprefix "mer"`
`hasprefix_cs`	RHS is a term prefix in LHS	Yes	`"North America" hasprefix_cs "Ame"`
`!hasprefix_cs`	RHS isn't a term prefix in LHS	Yes	`"North America" !hasprefix_cs "CA"`

Performance tips
