Search Operators (called Boolean Operators) enables users to fine-tune or tweak for any adjustments in your search result by using AND, OR, and NOT operators to extend or limit your search by combining search words. Users can search within EML File email data with the aid of logic operators by either incorporating or excluding multiple keywords in the search facts.

STEP 1

OR Operator

Appearance of the searched item is not necessary. That is, if you are not aware which word was present in the necessary email, you can add several keywords with the aid of the OR operator, and the result will include all of the keywords.

For Example : If you search in EML Files for X or Y. This will will display X or Y-related data, or both,
If you Search for From field as “From: Adriana” OR To field as “To: Rosangela”. This will display result either with “Adriana” or “Rosangela”, or both as shown below :
