Query Builder
The Query Builder allows users to progressively build complex queries using easy to understand building blocks.
The Query Builder
- From the Aurea Messaging Solutions Home page, click Search Personal Mail. Alternatively, from within AMS Archive, click Search Personal Mail link in the navigation bar.
NOTE
Not executing a default wildcard search greatly increases the system’s response time.
- If the Folder Sync feature is enabled by your administrator, you can search your personal archive for emails within a specific Outlook folder. Click Search Within Folder. Click on a folder to add it to the Search within path. Clicking on a folder name displays its sub-folders. This filter searches only within the selected folder. Sub-folders of the selected folder are not searched. Click the Select button when the correct folder is displayed in the Search within field. To again search all folders, click the Search Within Folder button, then click the Search All Mail button.
- The Search Context drop-down is used to select the portion of the message that is to be searched for this query. The selections are: Entire Message, Do Not Search Attachments or Search Attachments Only.
Defining the Search Context
- If desired, select a search language from the Language drop-down menu. The label of the drop-down is the currently selected language. Choosing a search language limits the search to emails identified as belonging to that language, plus all the language-unidentified emails. It also changes the stop word behavior (see Stop Words). To search all emails in the archive, select
Any. - Create a query by entering values in the search fields. As search values are entered, they are dynamically placed above the search field boxes. To clear a row, click the
icon, or click the Reset button to clear all the rows. See Search Features & Keyword Search Tips for ideas on building targeted, efficient searches.
Building a query
- Click Search.
- To see the query string that is generated by your search, click on the Advanced Query Language tab. See Search the Archive Using the Advanced Query Language for more information.
The advanced query builder
- The results of your search are displayed in the table below the search boxes.
- To be considered a match, all the query criteria must be met within the scope of a document (see Queries Performed Within ‘Documents’).
