query
Emits a simple_query_string full-text clause over the selected fields; unlike query string, invalid syntax in the search input is ignored instead of failing the search, so this is the safe choice for raw user input. Fields are read from the fielddefinitions pin (entries without a non-empty field string are dropped) and search defaults to "". default_operator is "OR" unless the or pin holds a truthy value, which is then stringified into the operator.
A typical wiring for simple query string: get multiple feeds the fields pin; convert to lowercase feeds the search pin; the query out pin feeds must.
