[Qgis-user] HELP! Search Query Builder has limited operators

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Abbas

Use the field calculator (calculator button in the attribute table). There you 
have an area button and you may create a field with the feature area with it 
(or use arithmetic expression that contain the feature area).

Regards,
Marco
