# TERM

The `TERM` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents with a specified field whose value contains a conceptual match of one or more terms specified by you. A conceptual match exists if a term you specify matches a term in a specified field after it has been stemmed.

NOTE:

If the language that you are using does not match the DefaultLanguageType that you have specified in the HPE Content Component configuration file, you must add the LanguageType parameter to your query action.

## Format

    FieldText=TERM{yourTerms}:yourFields

`yourTerms` | Type one or more terms. A document is only returned if one of `yourFields` contains a value that includes a term which conceptually matches of 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 a term in this field conceptually matches one of `yourTerms`. Separate multiple fields with colons (`:`). There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    FieldText=TERM{shopping,centers}:DRETITLE

A document's `DRETITLE` field must contain a term that conceptually matches shopping or centers for this document to be returned. If a document's `DRETITLE` field, for example, has the value shop this document is returned, while if it has the value `bookshopping`, it is not returned.

    FieldText=TERM{training,football}:ITEM:PRODUCT

A document's `ITEM` or `PRODUCT` field must contain a term that conceptually matches `trainers` or `football` for this document to be returned. If a document's `ITEM` or `PRODUCT` field, for example, has the value `train` or `footballers`, this document is returned, while if it has the value `trainer` or `soccer`, it is not returned.
