You can use the following methodologies when using the search field:

Value Search

Use complete values when searching (for example, powershell) or a trailing wildcard (for example, power*).

Search Fields

Form queries like this when including search fields: field:term

For example: 
parent_name:powershell.exe

Wildcards

Expand queries using wildcards. * ? Matches a single character. For example, te?t will return results for "test" and "text" * * Matches zero or more sequential characters. For example, tes* will return results for "test," "testing," and "tester"

Leading wildcards are assumed in file extension searches.

For example: process_name:.exe

Wildcards can be used in a path if you don't quote the value and escape the following special characters with a backslash: + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : /

For example: to search for (1+1):2, type: \(1\+1\)\:2

Operators

Refine queries using operators. Operators must be uppercase.

  • AND returns results when both terms are present
  • OR returns results when either term is present
  • NOT returns results when a term is not present

Escaping

Slashes, colons, and spaces must be manually escaped except when using suggestions and filters.

Date/Time Ranges

Refine queries using date/time ranges, when applicable.

For example: device_timestamp: [2018-10-25T14:00:00Z TO 2018-10-26T15:00:00Z]

Count Searches

Refine queries that include counts with ranges and wildcards.

  • [3 TO *] Returns count results starting with a value of 3.

  • [* TO 10] Returns counts results up to a value of 10.
