EX is "exact" which performs a SQL equals against the raw value.

IN compares against the values in the index tables, which are "terms"
derived from the raw value.

I'm afraid the ability to determine what's indexed is quite restricted.
In cfg.d/indexing.pl is an "extract_words" which is applied to all 
text
fields (and derived types).

At the moment there's no way to perform per-field term extraction.

All the best,
Tim.
