Table: Personal.cloud search methods and their syntax
Search method | Syntax | Example and more details |
|---|---|---|
Phrase search | Use double quotation marks around one or more words to search for the exact phrase. | "cloud computing" finds archived messages with this exact phrase. See Phrase searches. |
AND operator search | Use the AND operator between two search terms to find items that contain both search terms. | cloud AND computing finds archived messages with both of the search terms cloud and computing. |
OR operator search | Use the OR operator between two search terms to find items that contain at least one of the search terms. | cloud OR computing finds archived messages with the search term cloud, or the search term computing, or both terms. |
NOT operator search | Use the NOT operator between search terms to exclude specific search terms. | cloud NOT computing finds archived messages with the search term cloud but not the search term computing. |
Single character wildcard search | Use a question mark at the end of a search term to represent a single unspecified character. Note: You must enter a search term with at least three characters before the wildcard character. | appl? finds archived messages with search terms such as apple or apply. See Wildcard searches. |
Multiple character wildcard search | Use an asterisk at the end of a search term to represent one or more unspecified characters. Note: You must enter a search term with at least three characters before the wildcard character. | comp* finds archived messages with search terms such as computing, computer, or company. See Wildcard searches. |
Proximity search | Place quotation marks around two search terms, followed by a tilde and a numerical value to indicate the maximum word count between them. Note: Personal.cloud limits the word count between the two search terms to under 50 words. | "cloud computing"~5 finds archived messages with the search terms cloud and computing within five words of each other. See Proximity searches. |
Note:
Search terms are not case-sensitive. Capitalizing a search term has no effect on the search results.
