I search in the Discover tab in the following ways: 1- field:True 2- field IS True **_('True' is string not the boolean here)_** and get the different number of results. What is the difference between above two search queries? (':' between 'is') ---

Hi @Lyncean_Cura, the query is interpreted as a [lucene query string query](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax). That means that `field:True` matches all documents that contain `True` in the field named `field`. `field IS True` on the other hand matches all documents that contain one or more of `field`, `is` or `true` in any field. ---
