As noted, these videos show you how to use the advanced search to build queries that contain multiple search criteria in Enterprise Vault Search 12.0 and 12.1. The same process is used in all versions of Enterprise Vault Search.

Note that multiple search criteria lines are connected with the logical AND operation.  A criteria selection field can only be used 1 time in the criteria specifications in an Advanced search.  For example, the 'Content' criteria can only be selected 1 time.  If multiple terms are entered into the criteria data field, they are processed within that field based on the selection of the Search Operator field as follows for email messages:

contains all of     This is the logical AND operation that requires all terms in the data field to be present in the search results.
contains any of   This is the logical OR operation that allows any of the terms in the data field to be present in the search results.
contains phrase   This is specified all terms in the data field are to be considered as a phrase and the search results must contain the either phrase.
does not contain   This is the exclusion option that requires the search results to not include any of the terms in the data field.

If a need exists to use multiple instances of the same criteria field, the logic to be used must be included in the one criteria field connector or run in a Simple search with the specific logical operator separating the terms.   For example, if the content of a message must contain both "Investment Account" and "Retirement Fund", the criteria in a Simple Search would be
cont:"Investment Account" AND cont:"Retirement Fund"
whereas an Advanced Search would have in the Contents field with the contains all of operation and the criteria field would be
"Investment Account" "Retirement Fund"
