5.6 Searching the Log ¶
On the right of the log toolbar you will find the Log search field. It searches all four tabs at once - across every detail of an entry: profile, sender, recipient, subject, folder, attachments, status and date. The search takes effect as you type; the number of matches is shown next to it.

invoice pdf |
AND - a space combines the terms, both must occur |
invoice OR reminder |
OR - one of the terms is enough (also ODER or \|) |
invoice -newsletter |
NOT - excludes entries containing “newsletter” (also NOT) |
"payment received" |
Exact phrase in quotation marks |
(invoice OR reminder) -cancellation |
Parentheses for grouping |
Wildcards
| Wildcard |

2026-0?-15 |
Searching a specific field
With field:value you limit the search to a single field, for example subject:invoice or sender:example.com. Available fields:
subject: · sender: · recipient: · folder: · attachment: · status: · date: · profile:
Example: sender:example.com subject:invoice finds entries from that sender whose subject contains “invoice”. Case is always ignored.
| Button |
Function |
| Funnel icon |
“Use log filter”: if a log filter is set, the search limits its scope to the filtered entries. Without any search text the button has no effect - the normal log filter applies on its own. |
.* |
Switches the search to regular expressions (for advanced users). |
? |
Opens a quick help with all search options and examples. |
