54.1 Composing an Advanced Find

To compose an Advanced Find:

  1. Click Find in the item list.

    or

    Click the Filter drop down, and then select in Mailbox.

  2. In the Find pop out, select Look For > More Options, and then in the old Find dialog, click Advanced Find.

  3. Select a field in the first drop-down list, click an operator, and then type or select a value.

    For an explanation of the available fields, see Selecting Fields in Advanced Finds and Rules.

    The available operators depend on the field you choose. For information about the operators and their functions, see Using Operators in Advanced Finds and Rules and Using Wildcard Characters and Switches in Advanced Finds and Rules.

  4. Click the last drop-down list, and then select an action:

    And: Creates a new row. The Find results list items that match the conditions in each row joined by And.

    Or: Creates a new row. The Find results list items that match the conditions in either row joined by Or. The items don’t need to match the conditions in both rows.

    Insert Row: Inserts a new row below the current row and pushes the remaining rows down. Insert Row is useful if you have already created some search criteria and you want to add more criteria in the middle.

    Delete Row: Removes the current row from the search criteria.

    New Group: Begins a new group of rows. You can then join the groups by an And or Or. If two groups are joined by And, the items must match all conditions in both groups. If two groups are joined by Or, the items must match all conditions in either group, but not necessarily both.

    End: Designates the last row of conditions in the search criteria. If you select End in a row that is followed by other rows or groups, the subsequent rows and groups are deleted.

  5. Click OK to transfer your search criteria to the Find dialog box.

  6. Click OK to begin the Advanced Find.

  7. (Optional) In the Find Results tab, click Save to store your Advanced Find for future use.
