Building SharePoint Foundation Search Queries

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

Search in Windows SharePoint Services supports three types of search syntax for building search queries:

  • Keyword Query syntax (search terms are passed directly to the Search service)

  • SQL syntax (extension of SQL syntax for querying databases)

  • URL syntax (search parameters are encoded in URL, and posted directly to the search page)
