The following table shows the operators that you can include in your query string.

Use the search field to enter queries and refine your search. You can enter free text, use wildcards, and use advanced search syntax. When searching, keep in mind the accepted query string syntax list in this table.

Accepted Query String Syntax

Type of Query	Meaning	Example
Standard query with a blank space between terms	By default, a space between query terms is considered an implicit “OR”.	denylist malicious
Literal, using double quotes " "	Matches fields that contain the full term. Literal searches are case-sensitive. Note: This type of query will not match any searches in the raw log because raw logs are tokenized. Note: IP addresses and FQDNs are considered literal searches, so they don't require quotation marks.	"Event from asset not received"
Boolean operators or using parentheses AND, OR, NOT, ( )	Including AND or OR between two search terms will search for results that match both of those terms. Including NOT between two search terms will exclude results that match the second term, even though they otherwise match your query. Parentheses can be used to group terms for higher precedence relative to the rest of your query. Parentheses are also used to designate subsearches.	(http OR tcp) AND ftp
Wildcards, asterisk *	Appending an asterisk to the end of a term within your query will search for results that begin with your search term. An asterisk cannot be used at the beginning of a search query.	instance*
Wildcards, question mark ?	Embedding a question mark in the middle of a term will search for results that otherwise match your query, no matter the value in the position held by the question mark in your search term. A question mark cannot be used at the beginning of a search query.	qu?ck
Regular expression (regex), using /expression/	Regular expression inside forward slash characters. A dialog box opens to confirm the search. Note: The characters ", *, ?, (, and ) are special characters included in expressions. If you want to search by these characters, you need to manually escape them by preceding them with a backslash.	/Describe.*Instances/
OTX pulse	Pulses are collections of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). You need to insert the word pulse followed by a colon and the pulse ID or URL.	pulse:59432536c1970e343ce61bf0

Any characters may be used in a query, but certain characters are reserved and must be escaped. The reserved characters are these:

+ - = & | > < ! { } [ ] ^ " ~ : \ /

Use a backslash (for example, "\>") to escape any reserved character (including a backslash).
