Field Based Search

Field based search is a search within specific fields. This returns more precise search results and is faster than searching all document content. For example, if you are looking for a document with a specific title, you will get better results if you use a field based search of the meta_title field.

By default, field based search is available for all indexed fields.

Field based search is similar to using the Search In Smart Filter. Instead of selecting fields; however, you input internal field names or the abbreviation(s) designated for the field(s) in either the Keyword Search box in the Search Query Editor.

Note: Administrators can explicitly define user-friendly abbreviations, such as title.These are not case-sensitive.
Alternatively, you can use the internal field name, e.g., meta_title. Internal field names are case-sensitive.
If an abbreviation matches an internal field name, the abbreviation wins.
