Is there any way to search in the properties of google drive files?

I want to search files like this but I am getting exception.

query = "mimeType ='application/pdf' and properties has { key="+ "'" + agency + "'" +"and value contains"+ "'" + someValue + "'" + " and visibility='PUBLIC'} ";
request = service.files().list().setQ(query);

Do we need to search by exact value?

query = "mimeType ='application/pdf' and properties has { key="+ "'" + agency + "'" +"and value = "+ "'" + someValue + "'" + " and visibility='PUBLIC'} ";
request = service.files().list().setQ(query);

The second one is working, but is there any feature to support wildcard characters?

properties has { key='additionalID' and value='8e8aceg2af2ge72e78' and visibility='PRIVATE' }
