Notes

For a metadata field, if the field is tokenized, it will find individual words. If the field is untokenized, whole field values will be returned.

Currently, there's no way to specify case-/accent-sensitivity. Insensitive matching will be used for an annotation if it was indexed insensitively, otherwise it will fall back to sensitive matching.
