| Wildcards (*, ?) |
The asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard for any number of characters.
The question mark (?) is a single character wildcard.
Minus (-), Hyphen, or Dash Character is an exclusion prefix equivalent to using NOT before a term.
@field=( , ) must contain at least one of the values that are isolated by parentheses and separated by commas. This is equivalent to using the OR operator between terms.
( ) (Parentheses Grouping With Operators) The item must contain the keywords and respect the filter built using parentheses to group keywords with operators. Parenthesis are useful to ensure that the wanted results when using many Boolean operators in a query. |
Power*

Data Domain 1.?.0

| Quotes |
Quotes indicate exact match to the terms and case. |

| Field operators |
Allows you to search a particular field (such as Title) to specify it must contain a particular term. |
@title=power*
(shows all results with titles containing the word "power" anywhere in the title)
@sysurl="7y54x"
(shows results where field matches value)
@author=="Satyaprakash Tatavarty"
(shows results that are limited to the exact match of specified value) |
| Date/Time |
Allows filtering of content by a specific day, time, or period of time. |
@date=today
@date=today-1d
@date=today-365d
@date=yesterday
@date=yesterday-1d
(will show results that are created or modified today/yesterday or between today/yesterday and an optional duration number of days.)
@date<yesterday+1d
@date<yesterday-1d
(value in seconds (s), minutes (m), hours (h), days (d), months (mo) or years (y), is added or subtracted from the date operator (now, today, or yesterday)) |
| Value Range |
Used to narrow results to a value in a specific range. |
@size=1024..2048
@commonaccesslevel=30..40
(will show results where the value that is contained in the field is in the inclusive range that is specified by two values that are separated by two dots (double points or periods).) |
| Special Character operators |
Additional special characters such as @, =, + and : can be used to target specific fields and values.
At (@) symbol is must equal a field name. If it does not, either no results are returned, or a syntax error message is displayed.
The plus (+) symbol will match the term exactly, without including the term as a stem.
When the colon (:) character appears between terms, the returned items contain the exact term sequence. Used in conjunction with another query. |
@filetype=doc
(limits results to show only "doc" type files)
@title=(latitude audio issue)
(shows results that contain "latitude audio issue" as title)
+search
(shows results that contain "search" and not those containing terms of the same family, such as searched, searches, or searching.)
