    Description copied from class: AbstractPatternTextFilter
    
    Subclasses must create the Pattern that will be used by this class when filtering.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createPattern in class AbstractPatternTextFilter
    
    Returns:

  - isSubFilterOf
```
public boolean isSubFilterOf(TextFilter parentFilter)
```
    Description copied from interface: TextFilter
    
    Returns true if this filter is a more specific filter of the given filter. This is specific to the implementation. Some filters cannot be sub-filters of another filter, such as the 'matches exactly' filter. Contrastingly, a 'starts with' filter can have a sub-filter; for example, for a 'starts with' filter, 'cat' is a sub-filter of 'ca', as 'cat' starts with 'ca'.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parentFilter - the potential parent filter
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this filter is a more specific filter of the given filter.
