# Fields whose Value Exactly Matches One or More Strings

You can use the following field specifier to return documents with fields that contain a specified string.

## MATCH

The `MATCH` field specifier (case sensitive) finds documents in which a specified field contains a value that exactly matches a specified string.

    FieldText=MATCH{yourStrings}:yourFields

where:

`yourStrings` | is one or more strings. A document returns only if one of these strings is matched by one of `yourFields` exactly. The matching is case insensitive. FieldText queries which include commas and braces within the query have specific percent-encoding requirements. For information about percent-encoding, see FieldText.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if the value in this field exactly matches one of `yourStrings`. To specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=MATCH{Archive,Web,docs}:DB:DATABASE

The `DB` or `DATABASE` field must have the value Archive, Web, or docs for the document to return as a result.

    FieldText=MATCH{Premier league}:DB

The `DB` field must have the value Premier League for the document to return as a result.

    FieldText=MATCH{0-226-10389-7}:ISBN

The `ISBN` field must have the value 0-226-10389-7 for the document to return as a result.
