You can use regular expressions. As per this table you can write something like this to return any id that contains "SMS".

{
   "selector": {
      "_id": {
         "$regex": "sms"
      }
   }
}

Basic regex you can use on that includes

"^sms" roughly to LIKE "%sms"
"sms$" roughly to LIKE "sms%"
