# TERMEXACTPHRASE

The `TERMEXACTPHRASE` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to return documents in which a specified field contains an exact match of a phrase you specify. Your phrase is matched before 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 Content component configuration file, you must add the parameter to your query action.

## Format

    FieldText=TERMEXACTPHRASE{yourPhrase}:yourFields

`yourPhrase` | A phrase. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains an exact match of the specified phrase.
`yourFields` | 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`. Separate multiple fields with colons (`:`). There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    FieldText=TERMEXACTPHRASE{Batman! and Robins}:FILM

If the `FILM` field contains the value `Showing now, Batman and Robin's film`, the document returns as a result, while if the `FILM` field contains `Showing now, 'Batman and Robin' the movie`, the document does not return.

    FieldText=TERMEXACTPHRASE{gift horse }:DRETITLE:TITLE

If the `DRETITLE` or `TITLE` field contains the value `looking a gift horse in the mouth`, the document returns as a result, while if the `DRETITLE` or `TITLE` field contains the value `gift horse's mouth had rotting teeth`, the document does not return.
