IMPORTANT
The
OR
has to be capitalized when used to indicate optional search terms.
• To exclude search terms, use a minus sign ( -
) in front of the term you want to ex-
clude (for example,
apples -oranges
will find results containing apples but
not oranges).
• The root form of a search term is used when searching (for example, a search for
driving
will match
drive
,
drives
, and
driven
).
• To search for an exact phrase or word, put quotation marks ( ""
) around the phrase
or word.
• Common words such as "a”, “the” and “is” are ignored.
6.3 Performing a Property Search
By default, the Beagle search tool looks for search terms in the text of documents and
in their metadata. To search for a word in a particular property, use
property:query
.
For example,
author:john
searches for files that have “john” listed in the Author
property.
