Searching for Entities in the Search Bar (UI) and q field (API)
When searching for specific entities, such as an email address or credit card number, always use the designated search operator. The Search Tools (in the drop-down on the left-side of the search bar) are a shortcut and automatically convert your query to the correct syntax.
- email:first.last@company.com
- ccn:11111111111111111
- cryptocurrency:15ivMrk8VzaK9TEN85XYssVbU3Yd6tLzb9
- ipAddress:127.0.0.1\/24
- ssn:123-45-6789
When searching for multiple entities, use the search operator and a Boolean OR, as follows:
- email:(first.last@company.com OR last.first@company.com)
- ccn:(11111111111111111 OR 2222222222222222222)
When searching for both keywords and specific entities (such as an email address or credit card number) directly in the search bar, use the following format:
- ("First Last" OR Nickname) AND email:first.last@company.com
The Query Builders (in the drop-down on the left-side of the search bar) are a shortcut and automatically convert your query to the correct syntax.
