+#### ILike
+
+With this criteria you can get all the rows that are ilike to a value. To use it just use the new criteria `pgArrayILike`.
+
+It only can be used on arrays of string.
+
+It uses the ilike syntaxis, so you can do for example:
+
+```groovy
+def result = Like.withCriteria {
+    pgArrayILike 'favoriteMovies', "%tarwar%"
+}
+```
+
 
 ### Hstore
