# EQUAL

The `EQUAL` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field contains a number that matches one of the specified numbers.

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

## Format

    FieldText=EQUAL{yourNumbers}:yourFields

`yourNumbers` | One or more numbers. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains one of these numbers. Separate multiple numbers with commas. There must be no space before or after a comma.
`yourFields` | One or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains one of `yourNumbers`. Separate multiple fields with colons. There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    FieldText=EQUAL{1234567890123}:ACCOUNT:KONTO

The `ACCOUNT` or `KONTO` field must contain the number 1234567890123 for the document to return.

    FieldText=EQUAL{3.9,4.9,7}:ID

The `ID` field must contain the number 3.9, 3.90, 4.9, 4.90, 7, or 7.0 for the document to return.
