Yes simon, i understand that we can use CONTAINS as workaround. And may be use "match" if we are using in the models.
What i was trying to understand here is, is there any change on the LIKE predicate, as mentioned by you it is working on "TEXT" datatypes and now it is not working on them anymore.
That would be a considerable change, with significant effects on the systems that went go-live already.
May be anybody from development team can help to answer your question on the changes done on Version 70.
