# NOTEQUAL

The `NOTEQUAL` field specifier (case sensitive) returns documents in which at least one instance of a specified field contains a number that does not match the number you specify.

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

## Format

    FieldText=NOTEQUAL{yourNumber}:yourFields

`yourNumber` | A number. A document returns only if at least one instance of one of `yourFields` contain a number that is not `yourNumber`.
`yourFields` | One or more fields. A document returns only if it contains at least one of these fields, and if at least one instance of one of these fields does not contain `yourNumber`. Separate multiple fields with colons (`:`). There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    FieldText=NOTEQUAL{1234}:ACCOUNT:KONTO

Documents must contain an `ACCOUNT` or `KONTO` field, and at least one instance of one of these fields must contain a number that is not `1234`.

    FieldText=NOTEQUAL{7}:ID

Documents must contain an `ID` field, and at least one instance of this field must not contain the number 7 or 7.0.
