inSync Search is currently under controlled availability. If your organization wants to use inSync Search, kindly contact Druva Support.

 

Can inSync Client users search emails from the Search option in the Data Sources tab of inSync Web and perform restore actions?

Does the Search option in the Client restore interface support search using metadata attributes?

Search of files using metadata attributes is not yet supported from the inSync Client restore window. This capability will be added in a future release. 

 

Is there a limit to the number of search operators permitted in one line?

We can use a maximum of 12 supported search operators in a single search query.

Example: At the end of each week, the sales team in your company creates a report on the sales performance for that week. At the end of each month, they consolidate all these weekly reports and create a monthly report. The report usually has the following naming convention: Report for month ending <month name>-<year name>. In the month of December, they consolidate all the reports from January to November and create the annual report. If you want to find all the monthly reports, from January to November for the year 2016 using a single search query, the following query might be useful:

2016 AND (January OR February OR March OR April OR May OR June OR July OR August OR September OR October OR November)
