  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-01-31)
  
  Using sensuctl for sensu-go, I want to be able to search for entities by name, preferably using wildcards.
  
  I've tried this:
  
  `.\sensuctl.exe entity list --field-selector "testfilter in entity.name"`
  
  This still shows all of the entities regardless of the name.
  
  It seems that --field-selector may only be available in the licensed version and that may be why this isn't working.
