While you are using Search-Mailbox to find, delete or to copy items from mailbox you can use Advanced Query Syntax parameter to define what kind of items you are looking for.
Advanced Query Syntax helps users to better define and narrow their searches.
Following AQS parameters we can use to narrow search:
- File kinds: folders, documents, presentations, pictures and so on.
- File stores: specific databases and locations.
- File properties: size, date, title and so on.
- File contents: keywords like “project deliverables,” “AQS,” “blue suede shoes,” and so on.
For Exchange Search-Mailbox CMDlet we can easily use following parameters from File kinds:
File Type: | Example |
