STRING

The STRING field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to specify one or more strings of which one must be contained as a substring in a specified field.

NOTE: The field specifier speed can be optimized by restricting the field to the property type.

Format

FieldText=STRING{yourStrings}:yourFields
yourStrings

One or more strings. A document returns only if one of these strings is a substring of the value in one of yourFields. You can match strings that contain punctuation (but see Note) or consist of several words.

NOTE: Strings in the query must be percent-encoded to ensure that any commas or curly braces that are part of a string are not interpreted as query syntax.

If you send HTTP requests using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded you must then percent-encode all parameter values, meaning that any commas or curly braces that are part of a string are percent-encoded twice (such that a comma is represented by the sequence %252c). For more information, see Percent Encoding in Queries.

yourFields One or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if the value in this field is contains one of yourStrings as a substring.Separate multiple fields with colons (:). There must be no space before or after a colon.

Example

FieldText=STRING{cat,dog}:ANIMAL

The ANIMAL field value must contain the substring cat or dog.

FieldText=STRING{old cat}:ANIMAL:TOPIC

The ANIMAL or TOPIC field value must contain the substring old cat. For example if the ANIMAL field has the value old cat, old caterpillar or bold cats, the document returns.

FieldText=STRING{example.com}:COMPANY

The COMPANY field value must contain the substring example.com. For example, if the COMPANY field has the value example.com or http://www.example.com/content/home, the document returns.

FieldText=STRING{a%252Cb}:MISC

The MISC field value must contain the substring a,b. For example, if the MISC field has the value a,b or a,b,c, the document returns.
