Answer 1

Complex find conditions from the manual:

$this->Post->find('first', array (
    "Author.name" => "Bob", 
    "OR" => array (
        "Post.title LIKE" => "%magic%",
        "Post.created >" => date('Y-m-d', strtotime("-2 weeks"))
    )
));

Answer 2

if you using where function then use this :-

->where(['Products.category_id'=>1, 'Products.name LIKE' =>'test%'])

thanks

Answer 3

you can use: for "like"

$this->Post->find("all",array('condition'=>array('Author LIKE'=>"ad%")));

above query will give You the data from table posts where author name starts with "ad".

for "OR"

$this->Post->find("all",array('condition'=>array("OR"=>array('Author LIKE'=>"ad%",'Post LIKE'=>"bo%"))));

above query will give You the data from table posts where author name starts with "ad" OR Post starts with "bo".
