equal

The symbol for the equal operator is the equal sign (=). You can use the equal operator in any search condition. It retrieves documents with a property value that matches the comparison value that you enter in the search condition. In SQL, a condition using the = operator looks like this:

number = 8

You must use the = operator in a key condition when the index field is a menu field. In a filter test, you can use either the = operator or the <> (not equal to) operator with menu fields.
