This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/filter-operator defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
= EqualsThe specified property of the code equals the provided value.
is-a Is A (by subsumption)Includes all concept ids that have a transitive is-a relationship with the concept Id provided as the value, including the provided concept itself (i.e. include child codes)
descendent-of Descendent Of (by subsumption)Includes all concept ids that have a transitive is-a relationship with the concept Id provided as the value, excluding the provided concept itself (i.e. include child codes)
is-not-a Not (Is A) (by subsumption)The specified property of the code does not have an is-a relationship with the provided value.
regex Regular ExpressionThe specified property of the code matches the regex specified in the provided value.
in In SetThe specified property of the code is in the set of codes or concepts specified in the provided value (comma separated list).
not-in Not in SetThe specified property of the code is not in the set of codes or concepts specified in the provided value (comma separated list).
generalizes Generalizes (by Subsumption)Includes all concept ids that have a transitive is-a relationship from the concept Id provided as the value, including the provided concept itself (e.g. include parent codes)
exists ExistsThe specified property of the code has at least one value (if the specified value is true; if the specified value is false, then matches when the specified property of the code has no values)

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LevelA few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
DisplayThe display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
