# MatchType

Fields with this property are optimized for whole value matching. Type `True` to store the associated PropertyFieldCSVs fields in a fast-look-up table in memory to optimize matching of the fields when using the following FieldText specifiers: ARANGE, BIASVAL, EMPTY, EXISTS, EQUALCOVER, MATCH, MATCHALL, MATCHCOVER, NOTMATCH, NOTSTRING, NOTWILD, STRING, STRINGALL, and WILD.

NOTE: You cannot configure a field with more than one numeric-based field type concurrently. Numeric-based types include NumericType, NumericDateType, MatchType, ParametricRangeType, ReferenceMemoryMappedType, and ParametricType when the ParametricNumericMapping configuration parameter is set to `True`.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | `MyProperty`
Example: | `MatchType=True`
See Also: | CountType NumericDateType NumericType ParametricNumericMapping ParametricType NumericNormalMaxMem Property PropertyFieldCSVs ReferenceMemoryMappedType RegenerateMatchIndex Query action FieldText parameter

NOTE: If you change this setting after you have indexed content into the Content component, you must reindex the content, unless you have set RegenerateMatchIndex to `True`.
