## Modifiers for fields

{% hint style="warning" %}
This has changed with JabRef v6
{% endhint %}

JabRef offers operators for the fielded search.
The general idea is to have `=` for contains search and `==` for exact matches.
Then, the `!` can be used to force case-sensitive matching (when used at the end) and as negation, when used in front.

## Search using regular expressions <a href="#regular-expressions" id="regular-expressions"></a>

{% hint style="warning" %}
This has changed with JabRef v6
{% endhint %}

In order to only search for content within specific fields and/or to include logical operators in the search expression, a special syntax is available in which these can be specified. Both the field specification and the search term support [regular expressions](search.md#regular-expressions).

Regular expressions (RegEx for short) define a language for representing patterns matching text, for example when searching. There are different types of RegEx languages. JabRef uses regular expressions as defined in Java. For extensive advanced information about Java's RegEx patterns, please have a look at the [Java documentation](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java.base/java/util/regex/Pattern.html) and at the [Java tutorial](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/regex/).
