## Query Terms

A query consists of one or multiple **Query Terms**, which are connected using the logical operators <font color="#9900ef">`and`</font> or <font color="#9900ef">`or`</font>.&#x20;

Each query term consists of a **left-hand side argument (LHS)**, an **operator**, and a **right-hand side argument (RHS)**. Some operators expect multiple arguments on the RHS, such as [between](docId:-A6C2C3F2FW7YdjuVamvz) and [in](docId:-A6C2C3F2FW7YdjuVamvz).

The **LHS must always be a&#x20;**[field](docId\:kzBTLLYb4xfJ8DF290vXI)**.** The RHS can be either a [field](docId\:kzBTLLYb4xfJ8DF290vXI) or a [value](docId\:KhWZ7b0QhFIwTzxiLv2JI).
