# BOOLEANFIELD

The `BOOLEANFIELD` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified Boolean agent field contains an expression that matches text specified by you. A Boolean agent is a Boolean or Proximity expression that legacy technologies use to categorize documents.

NOTE:

For the Query action, HPE recommends that you use the AgentBooleanField action parameter rather than the `BOOLEANFIELD` field specifier. However, if you want to match more than one Boolean agent field, you must use the `BOOLEANFIELD` field specifier.

## Format

    FieldText=BOOLEANFIELD{yourText}:yourFields

`yourText` | Query text. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` contains a Boolean or Proximity expression that matches the specified text.
`yourFields` | One or more Boolean agent fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains a Boolean or Proximity expression that matches `yourText`. Separate multiple fields with colons (`:`). There must be no space before or after a colon.

## Example

    BOOLEANFIELD{The cat sat on the mat}:MyFirstBooleanField:MySecondBooleanField

This query returns documents that have a `MyFirstBooleanField` or `MySecondBooleanField` field that contains a Boolean or Proximity expression that matches the specified text. For example, the expressions `cat AND mat`, `cat OR mat`, `cat BEFORE mat` and `cat DNEAR1 sat` can match `The cat sat on the mat`, therefore documents that contain any of these expressions return.

Documents whose `MyFirstBooleanField` or `MySecondBooleanField` fields contain, for example, `cat AND mat AND dog` or `mat BEFORE cat` do not return.
