When searching in DISCO Review, if you do not specify a field, the search will look at the exact term you type and will find matches in any of the metadata fields and/or body of the document. This means, if you were to search the email address jeffery.skilling@enron.com, the search results would include documents where the email address jeffery.skilling@enron.com appeared in all of the following places:
- To field for metadata on an email
- From field for metadata on an email
- CC field for metadata on an email
- BCC field for metadata on an email
- Subject line field for metadata on an email
- Body text for a document
DISCO Review will not, however, make inferences about the email address and also find instances where the name of the email's owner appears. For example, it will not bring back documents where "Skilling, Jeffery" appears in the metadata or body text. The search will only bring back documents that have the exact characters entered into the search query.
