# TERMEXACT

The `TERMEXACT` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents with a specified field that contains an exact match of any of the terms specified by you.

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=TERMEXACT{yourTerms}:yourFields

`yourTerms` | Type one or more terms. A document is only returned if one of `yourFields` contains a value that exactly matches one of the specified terms. You can match strings that contain punctuation (but see Note below) or consist of several words. Note: To distinguish query syntax punctuation from punctuation within strings, double-percent-encode commas and curly braces within strings. Query syntax punctuation must be left unencoded. There must be no space before or after a separator comma.
`yourFields` | Type one or more fields. A document is only returned if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains an exact match of one of `yourTerms`. Separate multiple fields with colons (`:`). There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    FieldText=TERMEXACT{help,helped}:DRETITLE

A document's `DRETITLE` field value must contain the term `help` or `helped` for this document to be returned. If a document's `DRETITLE` field, for example, has the value helps or helping, the document is not returned.

    FieldText=TERMEXACT{Word,Excel}:FILE:DATEI

A document's `FILE` or `DATEI` field value must contain the term `Word` or `Excel` for this document to be returned. If a document's `FILE` or `DATEI` field, for example, has the value `WordPerfect`, the document is not returned.
