MATCHALL

The MATCHALL field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field occurs in multiple instances, and in which there is at least one match among those instances for each of a set of strings that you specify.

NOTE: You can optimize the field specifier speed by restricting the field to the MatchType property type.

To use the MATCHALL field specifier against fields that were added using the DREREPLACE index action, you must define the fields as MatchType.

Format

FieldText=MATCHALL{yourStrings}:yourField
yourStrings

One or more strings. A document is returned only if all these strings have exact matches among the instances of yourField. The matching is case-independent. You can match strings that contain punctuation (but see Note below) or consist of several words.

NOTE: Strings in the query should be percent-encoded. This ensures that any commas or curly braces that are part of a string are not interpreted as query syntax. If you are sending HTTP requests using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded you should then percent-encode all parameter values, meaning that any commas or curly braces that are part of a string are percent-encoded twice (such that a comma is represented by the sequence %252c). For more information, see Percent Encoding in Queries.
yourField The name of the field to match against. A document returns only if it contains the field and only if all yourStrings are matched at least once in various instances of the field.

Example

FieldText=MATCHALL{Archive,Web,docs}:DIRECTORY

The DIRECTORY fields must include at least the values Archive and Web and docs for the document to return as a result.

FieldText=MATCHALL{Smith,Garcia,Lee}:SURNAME

The values Smith, Garcia, and Lee must all have matches in the SURNAME fields for the document to return as a result.

FieldText=MATCHALL{Smith%2C John, Garcia%2C Joaquin}:FULLNAME

The values Smith, John and Garcia, Joaquin must both have matches in the FULLNAME fields for the document to return as a result.
