Note: The Advanced Mode option is not available if you use the Indexing feature.

When the Find View is in the advanced mode, it provides a greater search flexibility as compared to the standard mode. The advanced mode allows you to compose sophisticated search queries using more search conditions and their combinations and look for specific values in a multitude of message, attachment, and folder fields.

To create and run a search query in the advanced mode

1. In the left pane, select the Find node.
2. In the right pane (the Find View), use the Look for box to select what you want to search for—messages, attachments, or folders.
3. Click Browse, and select the check boxes next to the registered source storages you want to search. When finished, click OK.

To search particular mailboxes and folders, expand the source storage nodes and select the check boxes next to the mailboxes and folders you want to search.

To exclude subfolders from your search, clear the Search subfolders check box.

To register a new storage, click Add New Storage. For more information, see Add Storage Wizard.

4. Click the Advanced Mode hyperlink. In the advanced mode, you can use the following buttons:

Table 21: Advanced mode buttons

Add Criterion	Adds a new criterion for mailboxes, attachments, folders, or messages to your search query. Each criterion can include multiple criterion rows.
Remove	Deletes the current criterion or criterion row from your search query.

Down Arrow	Moves the current criterion or criterion row down.
()	Adds or removes parentheses. You can use parentheses to group different criteria. See the example that follows this procedure.

5. Click the Add Criterion button, and select the type of item you want to search.
6. Click columns in the criterion row to specify what you want to search and the search condition to use. You can use the following columns:

Table 22: Criterion row buttons

Condition	Click to select the search condition you want to use
Value	If appropriate, specify the value you want to include in or exclude from your search.
And/Or	Click to select And if the returned result must meet the current and the next criterion. Click to select Or if the returned result must either meet the current or the next criterion.

7. If necessary, add another criterion or fill in another criterion row.
8. Click Find Now to run your search query.

Using parentheses to group criteria

In the advanced mode, you can use parentheses to group criterion rows and insert specific search operators between these groups, as shown in the following example:

In this example, the Or operator in the And/Or column divides two groups of criteria. As a result, the search query looks for messages whose

• Subject contains the words draft contract, body contains the word contract, and attachments contain the words May 2009.
• Subject contains the words employee details, body contains the words John Doe, and attachments contain the words date of birth.
