Description
In select by attribute algorithm, trying to select features where "gid" contains 1 result in an error stating that these are string-only operators.
If this is the case, we should not list them if the selected field is not of a string type imho.
Then I guess this algorithm does not help me to select subset of features based on this kind of information on numeric field. (I can see that the "select by value" tool neither proposes these operators for numeric field but i can run a "like" selection on numeric field in "select by expression" tool with no problem.)

Please read how "contains" and "does not contain" operators work. They can not be applied to numeric data.

Please read again my message; i'm aware of that and as i wrote, if the predicates do not match the type of field, they should not be in the list (which is actually the bug reported here). Now, if this still sounds invalid, feel free to keep that behavior...
