Create and Use Search Profiles

How to create metadata search profiles and apply them to searches


You can create Search Profiles to run a keyword search against specific metadata fields such as the Email Subject or File Path field. Any keyword search your run, regardless of whether you create a Wordlist, Term List, or simple keyword search, will search the body text of your documents. The Search Profile feature allows you to target specific metadata fields when running your search.
