Answer 2

You can use regular expressions:

this.model.find({
    where: {
        property: {
            regexp: <expression>
        }
    }
})

Answer 3

I recommends you use a loopback-sdk-builder to generate api rest in your frontend proyect, and then consumes the find method. Simply like

getAll(): Observable<Model> {
  return this.myApiModel.find();
}
