+## Syntax
+
+The syntax is as follows:
+
+```
+contains ( attribute, string_expression )
+```
+
+### attribute
+
+`attribute` specifies the attribute to test in. Attribute must be of the **String** type.
+
+### expression
+
+`string_expression` specifies the value to test for being contained in the attribute. It can be a string literal or a string parameter.
+
+{{% alert color="info" %}}
+In the case the `attribute` is an empty value or `NULL`, the function will always return `false`, independent of the value of `string_expression`.
+
+In the case the `string_expression` is empty, it is treated as an empty string. The function is then equivalent to ```attribute != empty```.
