# TERMEXACTALL

The `TERMEXACTALL` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents with a specified field that contains an exact match of all terms specified by you.

NOTE:

If the language that you are using does not match the DefaultLanguageType that you have specified in the IDOL Server configuration file, you must add the LanguageType parameter to your query action.

## Format

    FieldText=TERMEXACTALL{yourTerms}:yourFields

`yourTerms` | Type multiple terms. A document is only returned if one of `yourFields` contains exact matches of the specified terms. You can match strings that contain punctuation (but see Note below) or consist of several words. NOTE: To distinguish query syntax punctuation from punctuation within strings, double-percent-encode commas and curly braces within strings. Query syntax punctuation must be left unencoded. There must be no space before or after a separator comma.
`yourFields` | Type one or more fields. A document is only returned if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains an exact match of all `yourTerms`. Separate multiple fields with colons (`:`). There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    FieldText=TERMEXACTALL{rabbits,eating,carrots}:DRETITLE

This query returns only documents whose `DRETITLE` field contains all the specified terms (in their specified form). For example, a document whose `DRETITLE` field has the value `Rabbits like eating carrots` or `The carrots were there but the rabbits ate all the cabbage` is returned as a result, while a document with a field that contains `Rabbits like to eat a carrot each day` is not returned.

    FieldText=TERMEXACTALL{flour,milk,eggs}:DRETITLE:TITLE

This query returns only documents whose `DRETITLE` or `TITLE` field contains all the specified terms (in their specified form). For example, a document whose `DRETITLE` or `TITLE` field has the value `Most cake recipes include milk, eggs and flour` is returned as a result, while a document with a field that contains `Use a cup of milk, two cups of flour and one egg` is not returned.
