For this you can use the following special operators between the command and its values.Operator | Examples | Results |
---|---|---|
< | size:<5MB received:<lastweek received:<12/31/2016 received:<31-12-2016 | Returns results that are either smaller than or happened before the specified value. The value itself is not included. |
=< | size:<=5MB received:=<lastweek received:=<12/31/2016 received:=<31-12-2016 | Returns results that either have the same size or are smaller than or happened on or before the specified value. In other words; the value itself is included. |
> | size:>5MB received:>November2016 received:>11/1/2016 received:>1-11-2016 | Returns results that are either larger than or happened after the specified value. The value itself is not included. |
=> | size:=>5MB received:=>November2016 received:=>11/1/2016 received:=>1-11-2016 | Returns results that either have the same size or are larger than or happened on or after the specified value. In other words; the value itself is included. |
.. | size:5MB..10MB received:lastweek..1/1/2017 received:May2016..July2016 received:12-4-2016..17-6-2016 | Return results that have a size between or happened between the specified values. The values itself are included as well. |
