isolateQuery

Description: Returns a list of isolate ids that match all fields. Searching is not case-sensitive. Any number of fields can be passed as arguments. By passing an exactMatch boolean parameter, you can set whether exact or partial matches are used.

Arguments

database (string)
n x [field]
where field is defined as {name,value}
exactMatch (boolean) [optional]
