SUBQUERY Argument (The Windows Shell)

  • Article

A subquery is a saved search file (*.search-ms) that you can use as a filter for a new query. The results of the subquery are used as the source for the new query. For example, say you have several saved search files that restrict a query by email distribution list: mydepartment.search-ms, teamproject.search-ms, and corporatewide.search-ms. Using the subquery argument enables you to limit email searches to any or all of these saved searches.

Example

search:query=vacation&subquery=mydepartment.search-ms
