- Method Detail
  - field
```
default N field(String fieldPath)
```
    Target the given field in the match predicate.
    Multiple fields may be targeted by the same predicate: the predicate will match if any targeted field matches.
    When targeting multiple fields, those fields must have compatible types. Please refer to the reference documentation for more information.
    
    Parameters:
    
    fieldPath - The path to the index field to apply the predicate on.
    
    Returns:
    
    The next step.
  - fields
```
N fields(String... fieldPaths)
```
    Target the given fields in the match predicate.
    Equivalent to field(String) followed by multiple calls to MatchPredicateFieldMoreStep.field(String), the only difference being that calls to MultiFieldPredicateFieldBoostStep.boost(float) and other field-specific settings on the returned step will only need to be done once and will apply to all the fields passed to this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    fieldPaths - The paths to the index fields to apply the predicate on.
    
    Returns:
    
    The next step.
