Description |
Exact text match |
If
you search for phrases, each word within that phrase must be an
exact match. Spelling variants are not allowed. For example, if
you search for bananas, messages with banana are not a match. |
Not case sensitivity |
Search
is not case sensitive; South, south, and SOUTH are all the same thing. |
Special characters |
These
special characters cannot be used in your search text. ~ ' ! @ # $ % ^ & * () _- + ? / { }[
] ; : " |
Copyright
and Trademark symbols ( |
Special
characters, such as trademark symbols that are part of a word,
are removed when the word is indexed for search. When these special
characters are used in a search query as part of a whole word
search, they are ignored. For example, a search for Zimbra™ finds all references to
Zimbra, including those without the trademark symbol. |
Wild cards |
The
asterisk
* as a wildcard after
a prefix is supported. For example, if you search for do*,
it returns items with the word dog, door, etc.
Note: A double-byte
asterisk sign in a search query is not considered a wild card
character and is ignored when the search runs. |
Attachments |
System-readable
file attachments are searched. A system-readable file is one that
can be converted to HTML, such as Microsoft Office documents and
text files. |
Contacts in address books |
You
must search for a whole word or number string. For example, to
search contacts by phone number, you must enter the full phone
number as it appears in the contact entry. You cannot search just
by the area code. |
