FAST Query Language (FQL) operators are keywords that specify Boolean operations or other constraints to operands. The FQL operator syntax is as follows:
[property-spec:]operator(operand [,operand]* [, parameter=”value”]*)
In the syntax:
- property-spec is an optional property specification followed by the “in” operator.
- operator is a keyword that specifies an operation to perform.
- operand is a term expression or another operator.
- parameter is the name of a value that changes the behavior of the operator.
- value is the value to use for the parameter name.
Operator names, parameter names, and parameter text values are case-insensitive. White space is allowed within the operator body, but is ignored unless it is enclosed in double quotation marks.
The length of FAST Query Language queries is limited to 2,048 characters.
FQL supports the following types of operators:
| Type | Description | Operators |
| String | Enables you to specify query operations on a string of terms. This is the most common operator to use on text terms. | STRING |
| Boolean | Enables you to combine terms and sub-expressions in a query. | AND, OR, ANY, ANDNOT, NOT, COUNT |
| Proximity | Enables you to specify the proximity of the query terms in a matching sequence of text. | NEAR, ONEAR, PHRASE, STARTS-WITH, ENDS-WITH, EQUALS |
| Numeric | Enables you to specify numeric conditions in the query. | RANGE, INT, FLOAT, DATETIME, |
| Relevance | Enables you to impact the relevance evaluation of a query. | RANK, XRANK, FILTER |
