2.2.3 Search Templates
Search criteria are specified by a template. The PidTagSearchFolderTemplateId property (section 2.2.1.2.2) on the message that defines the search folder identifies its corresponding template. In addition to defining search criteria, a template also defines folders to exclude from the search, defines items to exclude from the search, and specifies the value of the PidTagSearchFolderStorageType property (section 2.2.1.2.6). For more details about the folders that are excluded from the search, see [MS-OXOSFLD]. For more details about the item types that are excluded from the search, see the following:
Appointments - [MS-OXOCAL]
Contacts - [MS-OXOCNTC]
Distribution lists - [MS-OXOABK]
Journal items - [MS-OXOJRNL]
Sticky notes - [MS-OXONOTE]
Tasks - [MS-OXOTASK]
The flags set in the PidTagSearchFolderStorageType property and in the PidTagSearchFolderDefinition property (section 2.2.1.2.8) vary according to template. The fields required in the binary data of PidTagSearchFolderDefinition also vary according to template. The following subsections define the templates, including their requirements for PidTagSearchFolderStorageType flags and PidTagSearchFolderDefinition fields.<1><2>
