# `SearchQueryMatchKeyValueExpressionInput` input

A text-typed key matched against a string value: the input mirror of [SearchQueryMatchKeyValueExpression](https://wartiva.com/api-docs/types/search-query-match-key-value-expression.html).

`keyType` and `multiKey` are not supplied — the server resolves both from the object type's search query schema while validating the expression.

## Fields

| Input Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `key` - [`String!`](https://wartiva.com/api-docs/types/string.html) | The dot-notation key naming the object type and field being searched, as found in the search query schema (see [SearchQuerySchemaKeyStruct](https://wartiva.com/api-docs/types/search-query-schema-key-struct.html)). Casing is autocorrected to the canonical schema name. |
| `operator` - [`SearchMatchValueOperator!`](https://wartiva.com/api-docs/types/search-match-value-operator.html) | The comparison operator; EQ or NE for a text field. |
| `value` - [`String!`](https://wartiva.com/api-docs/types/string.html) | The string value to match; may contain wildcard characters (* and ?). |
