# $eq

The `$eq` operator performs explicit equality matching on a field.
While you can often omit `$eq` and pass values directly (e.g., `{ price: 199.99 }`),
using `$eq` explicitly makes your intent clear and is required when combining with other operators.

For **text fields**, `$eq` performs a term search for single words.
For multi-word values, it behaves like a phrase query, requiring the words to appear adjacent and in order.
For **numeric fields**, it matches the exact value.
For **boolean fields**, it matches `true` or `false`.
For **date fields**, it matches the exact timestamp.
