# TERMPHRASE

The `TERMPHRASE` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to return documents in which a specified field contains a conceptual match of a phrase specified by you. Your phrase is matched after stemming is applied (stop words are not removed). Any punctuation in the specifier or field is ignored.

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=TERMPHRASE{yourPhrase}:yourFields

`yourPhrase` | Type a phrase. A document is only returned if one of `yourFields` contains a conceptual match of the specified phrase.
`yourFields` | Type one or more fields. A document is only returned if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains a conceptual match of `yourPhrase`. Separate multiple fields with colons (`:`). There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    FieldText=TERMPHRASE{Batman! and Robins}:FILM

A document whose `FILM` field contains `Showing now: 'Batman and Robin'`, is returned 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` is returned.
