Performing Advanced Search and Query Search
Insight eDiscovery provides the Advanced Search and the Query Search features to search the content within archived accounts and cases. Both the search features are available in the Investigations tab (where you can search your own account or the accounts that you manage) and the eDiscovery tab (where you perform searches of the custodian accounts within cases).
Advanced Search support the use of phrase search, Boolean operators, proximity search, and wildcard search. See Search syntax for Advanced Search.
To perform an advanced search
- Access the Advanced Search tab from the Investigation or the eDiscovery tab.
- Specify the following inputs:

Expand Manage Custodians and select the custodians required for this search.
Click Update to add these selected custodians as a search input. These custodians are listed under the Selected Custodians section.
Custom Headers
Note:
The Custom Headers option does not appear if there is no entry for a custom header for a particular group or tenant in database. Custom header does not work independently. You need to use the filter criteria to search the required items.
Expand Custom Headers and set the header operator values.
Click + to add new search clauses.
Click - to remove search clauses that are not required.
In the first column, select the required header you want to search for. Based on the data type you have selected, the operator changes.
For example, if you have selected the receiver date in header, the operator values can be Between, Before inclusive and After inclusive. For a numeric or integer header value, the operator values can be Is equal to, Less than, and Greater than. If you have selected a string value in header, then the operator will be Contains.
In the second column, select the available operator.
In the third column, specify the text, phrase, or date that you want to search for.

Select All to match all conditions you have provided.

Source Type
Is - Upon selecting this operator, the application uses the OR function for the selected source types. Items from all the selected source types are filtered.
Is not - Upon selecting this operator, the application uses the AND function for the selected source types. Items from all the selected source types are excluded.

Filters items from new searches, standard searches, saved searches, ongoing searches, and ECA searches.
The list of source types varies based on the services enabled for the customer. For example, if the customer has Exchange, Zoom, and Google Drive services enabled, the available source types will be limited to these three options for users belonging to that customer.
Remember:
The Exchange source type includes items from Exchange versions 2003 to 2019, Office 365, and items collected from unidentified source types.
The Domino source type includes items from Domino versions 7 to 2.x
- Click Search.
You can perform a new search and optionally save it, or you can view the results of a previously saved search.
In Advanced Search, the search text input functionality is updated. In previous releases, when users were providing multiple text input with space, the default logical operator "AND" was getting applied. From now onwards, the default logical operator "OR" is getting applied to get user records.
This operator change from "AND" to "OR" is applied to all kind of searches. If users have previously used spaces while providing the search text inputs, their saved records (saved searches/standard searches/Ongoing searches) will be impacted as the operator is changed from "AND" to "OR".
