with the values stored in a specific document field. Documents are
selected only if the search elements specified appear in the same
sequential and contiguous order in the field value; for example,
"god" matches "God in heaven," "a god among men," or "good god"
but not "godliness," or "gods."

in a specific document field. Documents are selected only if the

match "gods," "godliness," or "a god among men."

so on.
