Use the Query Builder to simply the process of constructing a query. To access the Query Builder and other search options, click the down arrow in the search box.

Query Builder
 

The use of the Query Builder is entirely optional and it has its limitations. For example, using the query builder, it is not possible to group terms using brackets.

 

Date Range

 

Select the after and before dates to choose a time period that is relevant to a particular search.

 

Language

 

Choose a language to use for search purposes. Using this feature, it is possible to search for documents indexed in other languages,  even though the display language may be different. For example, the user interface may be in English, although using this feature, it is still possible to search for German documents.

 

Synonym Search

 

Check to match synonyms of search query keywords in the search results. For example, the query "all:dog", will match results whose fields contain the word "hound". MailArchiva uses the Wordnet database for synonym lookups.

 

Search Toolbar

 

 

The search toolbar enables one to perform functions such as printing emails, export emails to PDF, sending emails back to your email account. For a full description of the options available and how to use them,  refer to Search Actions.
