# Fields whose Values Match Specific Terms or Phrases

You can use the following field specifiers (case sensitive) to return documents in which specified fields contain specified terms or phrases.

## TERM

The `TERM` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents with a specified field whose value contains a conceptual match for one or more terms that you specify. A conceptual match exists if a term you specify matches a term in a specified field after it has been stemmed.

NOTE: If the language that you use does not match the `DefaultLanguageType` specified in the IDOL Content component configuration file, add the `LanguageType` parameter to your query action (see Specify the Language Type of a Query).

    FieldText=TERM{yourTerms}:yourFields

where:

`yourTerms` | is one or more terms. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains a value that includes a term which conceptually matches of one of the specified terms. To specify multiple terms, separate them with commas (there must be no space before or after a comma). FieldText queries that include commas and braces in the query have specific percent-encoding requirements. For information about percent-encoding, see FieldText.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if a term in this field conceptually matches one of `yourTerms`. To specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=TERM{shopping,centers}:DRETITLE

The `DRETITLE` field must contain a term that conceptually matches shopping or centers for the document to return. For example, if the `DRETITLE` field has the value shop the document returns, but if it has the value bookshopping, it does not return.

    FieldText=TERM{training,football}:ITEM:PRODUCT

The `ITEM` or `PRODUCT` field must contain a term that conceptually matches trainers or football for the document to return. For example, if the `ITEM` or `PRODUCT` field has the value train or footballers, the document returns, while if it has the value trainer or soccer, it does not return.

## TERMALL

The `TERMALL` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents with a specified field whose value contains conceptual matches of several terms that you specify. A conceptual match exists if the terms that you specify match terms in a specified field after they have been stemmed.

NOTE: If the language that you are using does not match the `DefaultLanguageType` specified in the IDOL Content component configuration file, add the `LanguageType` parameter to your query action (see Specify the Language Type of a Query).

    FieldText=TERMALL{yourTerms}:yourFields

where:

`yourTerms` | is multiple terms. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains a value that includes terms which conceptually match the specified terms. Separate the terms with commas (there must be no space before or after a comma). FieldText queries that include commas and braces in the query have specific percent-encoding requirements. For information about percent-encoding, see FieldText.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if a term in this field conceptually matches one of `yourTerms`. To specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=TERMALL{shopping,centers}:DRETITLE

The `DRETITLE` field value must contain a term that conceptually matches shopping or centers for the document to return. For example, if the `DRETITLE` field has the value town center shop, the document returns.

    FieldText=TERMALL{walk,climb}:DRETITLE:TITLE

The `DRETITLE` or `TITLE` field value must contain a term that conceptually matches walking or climbing for the document to return. For example, if the `DRETITLE` or `TITLE` field has the value hill walking and rock climbing, the document returns.

## TERMEXACT

The `TERMEXACT` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents with a specified field that contains an exact match of any of the terms that you specify.

NOTE: If the language that you are using does not match the `DefaultLanguageType` specified in the IDOL Content component configuration file, add the `LanguageType` parameter to your query action (see Specify the Language Type of a Query).

    FieldText=TERMEXACT{yourTerms}:yourFields

where:

`yourTerms` | is one or more terms. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains a value that exactly matches one of the specified terms. To specify multiple terms, separate them with commas (there must be no space before or after a comma). FieldText queries that include commas and braces in the query have specific percent-encoding requirements. For information about percent-encoding, see FieldText.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains an exact match of one of `yourTerms`. To specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=TERMEXACT{help,helped}:DRETITLE

The `DRETITLE` field value must contain the term help or helped for the document to return. For example, if the `DRETITLE` field has the value helps or helping, the document does not return.

    FieldText=TERMEXACT{Word,Excel}:FILE:DATEI

The `FILE` or `DATEI` field value must contain the term Word or Excel for the document to return. For example, if the `FILE` or `DATEI` field has the value WordPerfect, the document does not return.

## TERMEXACTALL

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

NOTE: If the language that you are using does not match the `DefaultLanguageType` specified in the IDOL Content component configuration file, add the `LanguageType` parameter to your query action (see Specify the Language Type of a Query).

    FieldText=TERMEXACTALL{yourTerms}:yourFields

where:

`yourTerms` | is multiple terms. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains exact matches of the specified terms. Separate the terms with commas (there must be no space before or after a comma). FieldText queries that include commas and braces in the query have specific percent-encoding requirements. For information about percent-encoding, see FieldText.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains an exact match of all `yourTerms`. If you want to specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    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, returns as a result, but a document with a field that contains Rabbits like to eat a carrot each day does not return.

    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 return as a result, but a document with a field that contains Use a cup of milk, two cups of flour and one egg does not return.

## TERMEXACTPHRASE

The `TERMEXACTPHRASE` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to return documents in which a specified field contains an exact match of a phrase specified by you. IDOL Server matches your phrase before it applies stemming (it does not remove stop words). It ignores any punctuation in the specifier or field.

NOTE: If the language that you are using does not match the `DefaultLanguageType` specified in the IDOL Content component configuration file, add the `LanguageType` parameter to your query action (see Specify the Language Type of a Query).

    FieldText=TERMEXACTPHRASE{yourPhrase}:yourFields

where:

`yourPhrase` | is a phrase. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains an exact match of the specified phrase.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains an exact match of `yourPhrase`. If you want to specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=TERMEXACTPHRASE{Batman! and Robins}:FILM

A document whose `FILM` field contains Showing now, Batman and Robin's film, returns as a result, but a document whose `FILM` field contains Showing now, 'Batman and Robin' the movie does not return.

    FieldText=TERMEXACTPHRASE{gift horse }:DRETITLE:TITLE

A document whose `DRETITLE` or `TITLE` field contains looking a gift horse in the mouth returns as a result, but a document whose `DRETITLE` or `TITLE` field contains the gift horse's mouth had rotting teeth does not return.

## TERMPHRASE

The `TERMPHRASE` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to return documents in which a specified field contains a conceptual match of a phrase that you specify. Content matches your phrase after it applies stemming (it does not remove stop words). It ignores any punctuation in the specifier or field.

NOTE: If the language that you are using does not match the `DefaultLanguageType` specified in the IDOL Content component configuration file, add the `LanguageType` parameter to your query action (see Specify the Language Type of a Query).

    FieldText=TERMPHRASE{yourPhrase}:yourFields

where:

`yourPhrase` | is a phrase. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains a conceptual match of the specified phrase.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains a conceptual match of `yourPhrase`. If you want to specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=TERMPHRASE{Batman! and Robins}:FILM

A document whose `FILM` field contains Showing now: 'Batman and Robin', returns as a result.

    FieldText=TERMPHRASE{gift horse }:DRETITLE:TITLE

A document whose `DRETITLE` or `TITLE` field contains the gift horse's mouth had rotting teeth returns.
