To search for the file path of a document or folder, use the following search syntaxes:

Path search

Path is stored as a case-insensitive keyword. As a result, path will always have a value of zero or one per document. In other words, when you search the path(), your content within the parentheses should be an exact or a wildcard match to the path as it was provided to DISCO Review (with the exception that the search is case-insensitive). Otherwise, the system will give you zero results. For example:

path("/albert_meyers_000_1_1.pst/meyers-a/ExMerge - Meyers, Albert/Sent Items/FW FW Laid-Off A No Nothing Production.msg")

will return documents with the exact path as provided above (case insensitive). Make sure to start your path with a forward slash (/).

The search

path("/albert_meyers_000_1_1.pst!”)>

(notice the wildcard (!) at the end) will return documents whose path begins with /albert_meyers_000_1_1.pst.

Folder path search

Folder is broken up into the elements of the path and those elements are stored separately. When you search for a folder, the results will include the parent folder as well as all of its child folders. For example:

folderpath("/albert_meyers.pst/ExMerge - Meyers, Albert/Sent Items/sample-contract.msg")

would be rewritten as:

folderpath("albert_meyers.pst” OR “ExMerge - Meyers, Albert” OR “Sent Items” OR “sample-contract.msg")

The results will contain documents in folders that match any of the four conditions. Folder search works with wildcards as well.

The search

folderpath("albert_meyers.pst!”)

will return documents where any of the folderpath elements (separated by “/”) start with albert_meyers.pst.

Warning

In folder searches (and only folder searches), DISCO Review replaces the slashes with spaces. Therefore, when using the wildcard (!), be careful to NOT place the exclamation point after a slash (/). For example:

folderpath(“/albert_meyers.pst/!“) 

(notice the exclamation point after the slash) will return the ENTIRE database of documents [that is, DISCO Review searches folderpath("albert_meyers.pst OR !”)].
