| options | object | null | |
| options.hasText | string or RegExp | null | Matches only elements that contain the specified text. String or regular expression. Optional. |
| options.hasNotText | string or RegExp | null | Matches only elements that do not contain the specified text. String or regular expression. Optional. |
