How to search a specific field of a GenBank record?

I want to search all GenBank records that contain a specific phrase in the in the FEATURES > source > /host="phrase" field. For example, see the image below, the phrase is Sus scrofa. I want GenBank to return all records that contain that phrase in that specific field.

I realize that simply searching Sus scrofa will give me those hits, but it will also give me lots of other stuff. Is there a way to specifically search that field? Thanks!

After accessing to the advanced search, you can select the desired fields and then, you will see the command lane used for that particular search with filters or not
