You can find specific customers using the GraphQL `filter` function. Below are some examples.

1. Find the customer whose first name is Jacob.

```graphql
query MyQuery {
customers (filter: "first_name = 'Jacob'") {
   edges {
     node {
        first_name
        email
        name
     }
   }
 }
}
```

2. Find the customers whose email contains Jacob.

```graphql
query MyQuery {
customers (filter: "email =~ 'Jacob*'") {
   edges {
     node {
        first_name
        email
        name
     }
   }
 }
}
```
