Field Scoping

      +

      You can specify the field in which a search needs to be performed by prefixing the term with a field-name, separated by a colon.

      The field-name may be a path to a field, using dot notation. The path must use Search syntax rather than SQL++ syntax; in other words, you cannot specify array locations such as [*] or [3] in the path.

      Required, Optional, and Exclusion

      When a query string includes multiple items, by default these are placed into the SHOULD clause of a boolean query. You can adjust this by prefixing items with + or -.

      • Prefixing with + places that item in the MUST portion of the boolean query.

      • Prefixing with - places that item in the MUST NOT portion of the boolean query.

      You can use the preceding syntax to create Compound Queries in Search.

      Example

      For example, description:pool performs a match query for the term pool, in the description field.

      For example, +description:pool -continental breakfast performs a boolean query that MUST satisfy the match query for the term pool in the description field, MUST NOT satisfy the match query for the term continental in the default field, and SHOULD satisfy the match query for the term breakfast in the default field. Result documents satisfying the SHOULD clause score higher than those that do not.
