Operators v2.5 – Diskover Data

➲ Operators Overview

Operators combine multiple criteria in a search query. There are three main operators: AND, NOT, OR—they are not case-sensitive.

OPERATOR	🔎 QUERY	✅ RESULT
AND	`report AND 2024`	Finds files that contain both report and 2024 in the name or path. Examples: `/projects/finance/report_2024_final.xlsx` `report_2024_summary.pdf` ✏️ If no operator is specified, AND* is used by default. Example:* `report 2024`
NOT	`report NOT draft`	Finds files that contain report but exclude anything with draft in the name or path. Examples: `report_final.docx` `/shared/reports/report_approved.pdf` Excludes → `report_draft_v2.docx`
OR	`report (final OR approved)`	Finds files that contain report and either final or approved in the name or path. Examples: `report_final.pdf` `report_approved_v3.docx` `APPROVED PROJECT/report_final.pdf` ✏️ Use parentheses to group OR conditions so they are processed correctly—think of it as building formulas in Excel where it requires you to group conditions to interpret your logic accurately.
MIX'EM	`report AND (final OR approved) NOT 2022`	Finds files that contain report and either final or approved, but excludes anything with 2022. Examples: `report_final_2024.pdf` `/archive/reports/report_approved_v5.docx` Excludes → `report_final_2022.pdf`
