Search basics
Using the Search For field
The Search for field is available when using the Simple Search and Advanced Search pages. Use this field to search for specific words in a document (email messages or files).
The query syntax allowed is described in "Query expression syntax and matching" on page 33. You can enter simple words, words with wildcards, or a more sophisticated query involving Boolean expressions or word sequences.
NOTE:
To narrow the search to the documents you want to find, make your search text as specific as possible. In general, the more information provided in the Search for field, the narrower the search. If the field is blank (empty), all documents within the specified date range of the query are returned.
Searching indexed contents
The Search for field is checked for a match against the indexed contents of documents.
•For email messages, the Search for field for words in the message body, but not in other message fields such as Subject, From, or To. In addition, the Search for field applies to message attachments that are indexed document files.
•For files, the Search for field applies only to indexed document files. Other types of files do not have indexed contents so their contents cannot be searched.
