Search Tips
Following examples demonstrate some useful searching tips.
Searching Tips # 1
Logged in as a user and searching for messages received in last 10 days
When logged in as a user, Xeams displays messages since midnight. However, a user can search for older messages
using the following tip:
- Select the appropriate message type
- Select a date that is 10 days from current date
- Enter 10 for Number of days to search for field.
- Select Sender or Recipient's email in Search Field
- Enter your own email address in the Search For field.
Searching Tips # 2
Search for a particular user
Assume you want to search for an email you received from:
Arnold Schwarzenegger <aschwarzenegger@hollywood.com>
Use the following values.
- Select the appropriate message type
- Select Sender or Recipient's email in Search Field
- Enter any of the following values
- Schwarzenegger Partial name
- Arnold Partial name
- aschwarzenegger Single word within email address
- aschwarzenegger@hollywood.com Entire email address
- hollywood Single word within email address
Searching Tips # 3
Searching for words within body
Assume you want to search for multiple words in a message, for example:
Hillary Clinton & Bill Clinton
Enter the following values:
- Select the appropriate message type
- Select Subject or Body in Search Field
- Enter any of the following values in the Search For field:
Bill AND Hillary AND Clinton
Notice the use of uppercase AND. This predicate will make Xeams look for every word and will only return
messages that contain all 3 words.
Omitting this AND will implicitly change the predicate to an OR and Xeams will return messages containing
any of the 3 words.
