Keyword Search Supported Operators for Item-Level Restore

For connectors that support item-level keyword search the following search options and operators are supported: 

Default Search

By default, if multiple keywords are used the system will do a search for items that contain all the noted keywords in no specific order.

Example: Happy birthday will return results such as:

· Happy birthday John

· Happy Birthday Rachel

· Happy 2nd birthday

Exact Phrase

To search for multiple words in the exact order started please use quotations around the phrase.

Example: ‘Happy birthday’ will return results such as:

· Happy birthday John

· Happy Birthday Rachel

AND Operator

Adding AND between keywords will search for both keywords noted, without order. If you use quotes on the keywords, it will treat the keywords as a single String (phrase)

Example: ‘Happy birthday’ AND ‘Rachel’ will return results such as:

· Happy Birthday Rachel

· Rachel wishes you a happy birthday

OR Operator

Adding an OR between keywords will search for the presence of either keyword but not both keywords.

Example: Happy OR Birthday will return results such as:

· Happy birthday John

· Happy days!

· Happy to help

NOT Operator

Adding a NOT between keywords will search for the first noted keyword and exclude any result that also has the second keyword.

Example: Happy NOT birthday will return results such as:

· Happy days!

· Happy to help

Wildcard Operator (On Prefix)

Adding an * at the end of a keyword or phrase will search for any potentially matching result. This can be used to search with partial keywords or for partial phrases. If searching with a phrase be sure to put quote marks around the phrase with the wildcard outside of the quotes.

Example: Hap* will return results such as:

· Happy birthday John

· Happy days!

· It happened yesterday

· He is an English Chap

Example: “it happened’* will return results such as:

· It happened yesterday

· It happened last years

· It happened to Frank
