pflint,
These types of searches can be done by using qualifiers in the simple search.
Low-level Boolean Search
A low-level boolean search can be performed from the "Simple search" page by typing in the following query in the "Search for" field.
This type of search allows to perform certain searches that cannot be specified using the user interface
Syntax:
raw: complex-term [operand complex-term]
complex-term: [ ( ] boolean-term | field-term [ ) ]
field-term: { subject | sender | to | msgid | sentdated | recvdated | msgsizekb } __contains boolean-term
boolean-term: [ ( ] simple-term [ ) ] [operand boolean-term]
operand: { __and | __or } [ __not ]
simple-term: [ mail-term | text-term | numeric-term ]
mail-term: mail( word )
text-term: { word | phrase}
phrase: [ " ] word [space word ...] [ " ]
word: { letter | digit | @ | wildcard } [...]
wildcard: * | ?
numeric-term: number ~~ number
number: digit [...]
Notes:
1) sentdated and recvdated are numeric searches and are specified in the number of days from 1970-01-01 and padded with zeros to 10 digits. For example:
sentdated __contains(0000007305~~0000013819)
2) msgsizekb is a numeric search and is specified in KB and padded to 10 digits. For example:
msgsizekb __contains(0000001025~~0001048576)
3) Parenthesis are recommended for proper grouping
4) Email addresses and message ids shall be specified using the mail-term syntax
5) It is not possible to select a particular database for the search. The search will be performed accross all registered indexes
6) Numeric searches may not perform as efficient as from the Advanced search
7) When no field-term is specified the search is performed on the whole email (fileds, body and attachments)
8) Low level searches can be saved as Search Folders
9) Low level searches may produce incorrect results for indexes built by the GFI MailArchiver 4 builds prior to 20070616
Examples:
raw: "concept plan" __or "master plan" - emails containing a phrase "concept plan" or a "master plan"
raw: sender __contains mail(sales@gfi.com) - emails sent by sales@gfi.com
raw: ( sender __contains mail(sales@gfi.com) ) __or ( subject __contains GFI ) - emails sent by sales@gfi.com or containing GFI in the subject
raw: to __contains mail(sales@gfi.com) __or mail(info@gfi.com) - emails received by sales@gfi.com or info@gfi.com
raw: ("master plan") __or (msgsizekb __contains 0000001025~~0001048576) - emails containing a phrase "master plan" or larger than 1 MB
