SharePoint Foundation Search SQL Syntax

[This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.]

Search in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 provides support for constructing complex search queries through the SQL syntax. Some examples of what is available when using SQL syntax for search queries include the following:

• Comparison operators, such as ">", "<", or "=". For more information, see Literal Value Comparison.

• Multiple logical operators, such as AND, OR, and NOT. For more information, see WHERE Clause.

• Wildcard searches. For more information, see Using Wildcards in the CONTAINS Predicate.

Note

For basic search queries, use the Keyword Syntax reference instead.

The topics in this section describe the SQL syntax used for Search in SharePoint Foundation 2010.
