Splunk Search

Is it possible to use IN against a field that contains comma-separated values?

Is it possible to "expand" a single variable with comma-separated values into a "list" and then use it inside IN condition?

For example, I have a field "days-off" and want to filter events when "days-off" include "Sat"

So I would want something like

Search "Sat" IN (days-off)

May be with mvexpand?

Or should I just use matchor like against a string with regular expression (if required)?

No, it isn't.

use | where match(days-off,"Sat")

like() needs SQL-like %. match() is better.
