         values : iterable, Series, DataFrame or dict
             The result will only be true at a location if all the
-            labels match. If `values` is a Series, that's the index. If
-            `values` is a dict, the keys must be the column names,
-            which must match. If `values` is a DataFrame,
-            then both the index and column labels must match.
+            labels match.
+            - If `values` is a Series, the index labels must match.
+            - If `values` is a dict, the keys must be column names,
+            which must match.
+            - If `values` is a DataFrame:
+                * When ``ignore_index=False`` (default), both the index
+                and column labels must match, and comparison is done
+                elementwise.
+                * When ``ignore_index=True``, only column labels must
+                match. Each element in the DataFrame is compared
+                against the set of values in the corresponding column
+                of ``values``, ignoring row index alignment.
+
+        ignore_index : bool, default False
+            *Only valid when `values` is a DataFrame.*
+            If True, ignore index alignment and simply check
+            if each value in each column occurs in the same
+            column of `values`.
