I need to style a survey parcel polygon shapefile, based on whether the polygon is a mineral claim or not. Unfortunately, the only information on whether a polygon is a mineral claim or not is contained in the "TITLE" field of the attribute table, which gives the full legal name of the surveyed parcel.
For instance, 'DISTRICT LOT 5639, BEING AWARD NO. 2 MINERAL CLAIM, KDYD'.
I need an expression that selects any feature containing the text 'MINERAL CLAIM' in the "TITLE" field.

The select features of visible layer has been integrated into QGIS and its toolbar.
Just select a layer in the table of contents and click on this little icon:
If this isn't the function you wanted than you might have to wait(or pay him) for the original plugins author to adapt the plugin for QGIS 2.0.
If there is only need to select 'all permian lithologies' and no other conditions - you can use syntax like this:
"GEOLHIST" LIKE '%Permian%'
This should select all occurencess of 'Permian' word. This will not work with 'permian' probably. But you can change to '%ermian' thought.

You just gotta use the
LIKEoperator.For example,
"TITLE" LIKE '%MINERAL CLAIM%'The
%symbol acts like a wildcard.LIKEis case-sensitive, whereasILIKEis not.
