Keyword Search

Keyword search is used for searching through archived emails and attachments. It is possible to search for text in pictures (OCR search) although this technology has some limitations. For example, tiny text may not be correctly recognized. Keyword search can be used for searching through archived and subsequently restored mails.

Steps to run a keyword search

1.Click  the Archive Manager addin.

2.Click Search from the ribbon.

clip0013

3.The Search window opens.

clip0014

4.Enter the keywords in the Search for the word(s) field. The keyword is searched in the subject, email body and attachments.

5.The result of the search is then displayed in the Search results window.

clip0015

6.From the the Search results window, you can retrieve an archived email by either selecting the email and clicking Display or by double-clicking the email.

Search Expressions

Search expressions are a combination of keywords and logical operators that enhance the search capability. Keywords can be used in combination with the logical operators AND, OR. The operator AND is not mandatory. If no logical operator is included, the keyword search query engine searches for documents containing all the given words.

clip0016

Example 1:

Search results for hello AND welcome are the same as search results for the string hello welcome or welcome hello. When you intend to look for an exact phrase (a group of words that functions as a single unit in the syntax of a sentence) you should use quotation marks " ".

Example 2:

Archive Manager Search supports other operators: NOT, + and -. Single and multiple character wildcard searches are supported as well:

Character

Description

Example

?

single character wildcard; replaces any single character

te?t matches text, test etc.

*

multiple character wildcard; replaces 0 or more characters

test* matches test, tests, tester etc.

+

requires that the term after the "+" symbol exist somewhere in a the field of a single document

+test data

searches for documents that must contain "test" and may contain "data"

NOT

excludes documents that contain the term after NOT. This is equivalent to a difference using sets. The symbol ! can be used in place of the word NOT

Note: The NOT operator cannot be used with just one term. For example, the following search will return no results: NOT "test server".

"test data" NOT "test server"

searches for documents that contain "test data" but not "test server"

-

excludes documents that contain the term after the "-" symbol

"test data" -"test server"

searches for documents that contain "test data" but not "test server"

info

NOTE: The above mentioned wildcard specification characters, i.e. ? or * etc., cannot occur as first 2 characters of the search phrase. The search query as such cannot other contain special characters as ":", "\", "!", "^", "~".

You can use the Save / Load buttons to save / load search criteria you have specified. It is especially useful e.g. when you have set special settings for Advanced search (see further).


Advanced Search

Advance search lets you specify your search criteria in more detail.

Steps to use advanced search

1.Click the plus (+) sign to expand the advanced search section.

How to build search queries

This topic describes how to build search conditions using the advanced search capabilities of Archive Manager for Exchange. A search condition (or query) can contain zero or more search clauses that are combined using operators and grouping of search clauses.

In this topic:

·Simple Conditions

·AND/OR operators

·Grouping

·Keyword Search


Simple Conditions

A simple search conditions needs no search clause or can contain just one search clause.

Example 1

Click Search without adding a search clause. In this case, you will get back all the archived items.

search-ex-010

Example 2

Add a single search clause with a condition where the field Subject contains the word "them”. When you click Search, you will get back all the archived items where the Subject contains the word "them".

search-ex-020


AND/OR operators

The AND/OR operator is used between two search clauses. With these operators, you can combine two or more search clauses. The AND operator will return a search result if both the search clauses separated by the AND operator are fulfilled. The OR operator will return a search result if any one of the search clauses separated by the OR operator are fulfilled. The AND operator has a higher priority over the OR operator. When a search condition contains both the AND and OR operators, the search clauses that are combined with the AND operator must be fulfilled first.

Example 1

To find all items where the Subject contains word "them" AND the Sender is "amadmin", you must combine two search clauses as shown:

search-ex-030

Example 2

To find all items where the Subject contains word "them" OR the Sender is "amadmin", you must combine two search clauses as shown:

search-ex-040


Grouping

Sometimes simple combinations of search clauses with the AND and OR operators are not enough. Grouping is a good solution to change the priority between the operators. The grouped search clauses have a higher priority than the operator before or after the group. The examples in this section describe how the grouping works.

Example 1

To find all items where the Subject contains the word "them" AND the Sender is "amadmin", and all these items must also have an attachment then the search condition is as shown:

search-ex-050

Query: (Subject contains "them” OR Sender is "amadmin") AND has attachment

We can split this search condition into two parts

1. (Subject contains "them” OR Sender is "amadmin”) which is a group

2. AND has attachment

Since a grouping has a higher priority, the search condition in the group must be fulfilled first. In this case each item in the search result will have a Subject that contains the word "them” AND the Sender is "amadmin”, and the item will also have an attachment

Example 2

To find all items where the Subject contains word "them” or, the Sender is "amadmin” and at the item must have an attachment, then the query is as shown:

search-ex-060

Query: Subject contains "them” OR Sender "admin” AND has attachment

This query can be split into two parts

1. Subject contains "them” OR

2. Sender is "amadmin” AND the item has an attachment

The AND operator has a higher priority so the search clauses combined with the AND operator must be fulfilled first. In this case the search result will contain items where the item must have an attachment and the Sender must be "amadmin”, or Subject should contain the word "them”.

Example 3

To find all items where the Subject contains the word "them" and the Sender is "amadmin”, or the item has attachment, and the item must be in the "Inbox" folder then the search condition is as shown:

search-ex-070

Query: Subject contains "them” AND (Sender is "amadmin" OR has attachment) AND Folder path is "Inbox"

This query can be split into three parts

1. Subject contains "them” AND

2. (Sender is "amadmin” OR the item has an attachment)

3. AND Folder path is "Inbox”

The grouped search clauses have the higher priority in this query so the search condition in the group must be fulfilled first. In this case the search result will contain items where the Subject must contain the word "them” + Sender should be "amadmin” or the item has an attachment + the folder path must be "Inbox”.

Example 4

To find all items where the Subject contains the word "them” and Sender is "amadmin”, or the item has an attachment and these items should be in the "Inbox” folder then the search query is as shown:

search-ex-080

Query: Subject contains "them" AND Sender is "amadmin" OR has attachment AND Folder path is "Inbox"

This query can be split into two parts

1. Subject contains "them” AND Sender is "amadmin” OR

2. Item has attachment AND Folder path is "Inbox”

The AND operator has a higher priority in this query so the conditions with the AND operators must be fulfilled first. In this case the search result will contain all items where Subject contains the word "them" and Sender is "amadmin" or the item must have an attachment and the folder path must be "Inbox".

Example 5

To find all items where the Subject contains word "them” or these items are in the "Inbox” folder, and the Sender is "amadmin” or the item has an attachment, then the query is as shown:

search-ex-090

Query: (Subject contains "them” OR Folder path is "Inbox") AND (Sender is "amadmin" OR has attachment)

This query can be split into two parts

1. (Subject contains "them" OR Folder path is "Inbox") AND

2. (Sender is "amadmin" OR item has attachment)

The grouped condition has the higher priority in this query so the conditions in the group must be fulfilled first. In this case the search result will contain items where Subject should contain "them” word or folder path should be "Inbox” + Sender should be "amadmin” or the item should have an attachment.

Example 6

To find all items where the Subject contains the word "them" or, these items are in the "Inbox” folder and the Sender is "amadmin", or the item has an attachment, then query is as shown:

search-ex-100

Query: Subject contains "them” OR Folder path Inbox AND Sender is "amadmin” OR item has an attachment

This query can be split into three parts

1. Subject contains "them” OR

2. Folder path is "Inbox" AND Sender is "amadmin"

3. OR item has an attachment

The AND operator has a higher priority so the conditions with the AND operator must be fulfilled first. In this case the search result will contain items where Subject must contain the word "them” or folder path must be "Inbox” and Sender must be "amadmin” or the item has an attachment.


Keyword Search

Keyword search provides a fast and flexible search for keywords in the email Subject, body, and attachments of messages in Archive Manager for Exchange. If you leave this field empty, then the search result will show all archived messages. If you enter a word or phrase in the keyword field and click Search the result of the search will show all the archived messages where the Subject, body or attachment contains the entered word or phrase.

Example 1

You can combine keyword searches with advanced search clauses to find specific messages. Keyword searches are combined with advanced search conditions with the AND operator. The search result will contain items that have the keyword and the advanced search conditions as well. To find all messages where the Subject, body or attachment contains word "mother" and the Subject also contains the word "them", the search query is as shown:

search-ex-110

The body of the message contains word "mother", and the Subject contains word "them"

info

NOTE: To search in journal mailboxes:

·If a user has Journal permission set in ArchiveWeb then the user can search through their own emails, where it is present as a kind of recipient (sender, recipient).

·If a user has Journal access granted through Archive Manager > Tools > Mailbox rights manager, then the user can search all emails in the Journal.

Versions

Each time you retrieve and edit an archived email a new version of that email is created in the HSM Store. Versions are also created automatically when Archive Manager is configured to create a delayed shortcut. For example if you have an email that is archived with a delayed shortcut, the original email is still available in you mailbox even though it is marked to be archived. If you edit and save this this email and it is eventually archived, a new version of the email will be created.

Different versions of an archived email can be checked in the Versions window.

Steps to work with the Versions window

1.Click  the Archive Manager addin.

2.Select an archived email and click Versions from the ribbon.

clip0020

3.If the archived email has versions, then all the versions will be displayed in the list.

clip0021

The actions you can perform in the Versions window are described below:

a.Display - opens the selected version of the archived email.

b.Create new copy - creates a new email based on the selected version. This newly created email is not archived and you must archive it manually.

c.Restore - restores the selected version. The restored version of email will be retrieved and deleted from the archive.

d.icon-pin - click the pin icon to keep the Versions window always on top while you work with other applications. Click to icon-unpin unpin the window.

info

NOTE:

·You can click any column header to sort the list based on the header.

·The keyword search engine searches for keywords in every version of the archived emails. Search results may contain more than one version of the same email.

clip0023

Steps to create a new version of an archived email

1.Open Outlook.

2.Double-click an archived email to retrieve and open the email in the Outlook message editor.

3.From the Message ribbon select Actions > Edit Message.

clip0022

4.Revise the message as needed and save the message.

5.Click  the Archive Manager addin.

4.Select the edited archived email and click Versions from the ribbon to verify that a new version was created and successfully archived.

 

Offline synchronization

Working with archived emails is possible even when you use your MS Exchange Server mailbox offline. Before switching to offline mode you must synchronize your Outlook mailbox with the MS Exchange Server. If you also plan to work with your archived emails you must synchronize with the Archive Manager addin as well. For automatic synchronization see Offline options.

Steps to synchronize archived emails for offline use

info

NOTE: To ensure the offline folder synchronization process is successful, you must deactivate the Cached Exchange Mode in Outlook.

To deactivate Cached Exchange Mode in Outlook:

1.Click File > Account Settings > Account Settings.

2.Click the Exchange or Microsoft 365 account from the Email tab, and then click Change.

3.Under Offline Settings, uncheck Use Cached Exchange Mode. If you're a Microsoft 365 subscriber, uncheck Use Cached Exchange Mode to download email to an Outlook data file.

4.Exit, and then restart Outlook.

Alternatively, you can keep Cached Exchange Mode activated and set Mail to keep offline (or Download email for the past for Microsoft 365 subscribers) to a date range greater than the received emails being deleted.

1.Run Outlook synchronization.

2.Click  the Archive Manager addin.

3.Click Offline Folder Synchronization.

clip0024

4.When you reconnect wit MS Exchange Server online, you must synchronize your Outlook mailbox with the MS Exchange Server.
