Finding Files
Important: AND, OR, and NOT are treated as operators by default and do not require
angle brackets (< >). If you want to use these terms as search terms, place them in double
quotes (for example, “and”). You must place all other operators in angle brackets.
Note: For clarity, the operators are shown in upper case, but they can be in lower case
as well.
Operator Description Example
AND Finds content items that contain all
of the specified terms.
address AND name returns content
items that contain both specified
words.
OR Finds content items that contain at
least one of the specified terms.
safety OR security OR protection
returns content items that contain at
least one of the three words.
, (comma) Finds content items that contain at
least one of the specified terms.
safety, security, protection returns
content items that contain at least
one of the three words.
NOT Finds content items that contain the
term that precedes the operator
(if any), and ignores content items
that contain the term that follows it.
NOT server returns content items
that do not contain the word server.
internet NOT server returns content
items that contain the word internet
and do not contain the word server.
" (double quotation mark) Finds content items that contain
only the specified term, not any
variations of the stem of the word.
“address” returns content items
that contain form as a whole word,
but does not return content items
that contain addresses, addressing,
or addressed.
`

format when used within a scripted
full-text search.
dInDate >
`
<$dateCurrent(-
7)$>

in and released within the last
seven days. Without the back
quotes, the current date format may
not properly span multiple years.
