Query fields

This section describes the detailed functionality of each of the query fields in Query Builder.

NOTE

If you submit a query containing only a single special character (such as a tilde, parenthesis, or exclamation point), the system returns all messages within your reviewer scope. The workaround for this issue is to use at least one alphanumeric character in your query in addition to the special character.

The Query Builder

Field Description
Keywords (All)
  • Enter words with a space between words.
  • Stemming does apply (see Stemming), as does the implied wildcard (*) at the end of each word.
  • Stop words do apply. See Stop Words
  • Double-quotes are ignored.
  • Multiple search terms are AND’d together, then AND’d with the other search fields.
Sender Filters results based on whether the From field in the message envelope or message headercontains the value provided.
Recipients

Filters results based on whether the recipient information in the message envelope or in the TO and CC fields in the message headercontains the value you provide. Limitations on envelope searches, as described in the Recipients (Envelope) entry in Other Fields options, also apply to this filter.

Subject Filters results based on whether the message Subject field contains the value provided.
Received Date

Use this field to filter the query by dates. The email date used for this query is the date the Exchange Server received the email message.

The query can be created to search on, after, or before a defined date, or between two defined dates. The after, before and between searches can also include time values. A date with 24-hour time is used, in the format: MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM.

NOTES:

  • These fields can be used individually or in combination.
  • Multiple search terms entered into a single text box with a space between words are AND’d together, then evaluated with the other query rows.
  • Stop words do apply. See Stop Words
  • Stemming does apply (see Stemming), as does the implied wildcard (*) at the end of each word.
  • Double-quoted values are considered a single string and the string must be matched exactly.
