Examples of using Basic, Advanced, and Query Searches

Suppose you want to search for the messages that relate to the resetting of a password. You can enter password resetinto the Search box and click Search to perform a Search. The space betweenpasswordandreset is treated as an AND operator, so the returned results contain any messages that include both the word password and the word reset.

Suppose that you now decide to search for the phrase password reset , and to exclude from the results any emails that reference the word Box. You can use an Advanced Search for this purpose. Click the expand icon to display the Advanced Search options. Your original Search is now shown in the first criteria row.

Insert double quotation marks around password resetto specify it as a phrase. Then click + to add a second criteria row. In the new criteria row, select Doesn't Contain and enterBox in the text field.

Click Search to perform the search. The search returns any items that do not contain Box but that contain the exact phrase password reset.
