Exact Match

Use quotes to search for exact matches on phrases.

 
Note: Exact searches will not return search matches based on specific character sequences. Instead, they will return matches based on phrases, i.e. word sequences.
 
For example: A search for "A_Box" may return search results including the sequence "a.box", "A Box", and "A_Box"; any item containing the words "A" and "Box" consecutively. 

Boolean Search

You can use Boolean operators in your search. The operators are AND, OR, and NOT. Please note that we support lower case instances of "and" "or" and "not" but not mixed case. (ie "And", "Or", "Not" will not work)

  • AND returns documents that contain both the search terms. For example:
    A search for marketing AND BoxWorks returns a result that has both marketing and BoxWorks within its text. It does not return a result that only has BoxWorks in its text.
  • OR returns documents that contain either of the search terms. For example:
    A search for marketing OR BoxWorks returns a result that has either marketing or BoxWorks within its text.
  • NOT returns documents that contain the first search term but not the second. For example:
    A search for marketing NOT BoxWorks eturns a result that has only marketing within its text. Anything with the word BoxWorks is omitted.

Wildcard Search

Trailing wildcards are implicitly included in search results because of the way text is indexed. Searching for Bo results in items with the words Box or Boat or Boxer. It is the equivalent of searching for Bo* or Bo% in traditional search engines. Traditional wildcard notation is not supported by Box, such as %ox%
 

Saving Search Queries

The search query term and any filters are encoded as part of the URL – even the meaning of relative filters such as Last Week is preserved. So relative date filters will always imply dates that are relative to the time the query is executed.
