Newbie Question re: Search Syntax Construction

DEVONagent Tips

Hi,

Please forgive me if this question is answered in a FAQ or other published document but I wasn’t even sure how to phrase the search query here on the forums! If the answer does in fact exist someplace, please provide a link and thanks.

I’m using DevonAgent 2.3.1 with DeveonThink Pro Office and I want to conduct a search using DA and cannot figure out how to construct the syntax. Here are a couple of examples of what I am trying to retrieve information on:

I want to locate any quoted comments made by a pundit, campaign staffer etc. for either the Obama or McCain campaign that contains the words…
“I think you will find”, or “I think we will find that”, “I think you can expect to”

IOW, I am looking for any quoted comments by persons other then McCain or O’Bama that project what “we could expect to see” by that particular candidate on a given policy or related matter should they become president

(I am not sure which search engines to use but I am sure I can figure that part out)

I apologize if this is not making sense. Please let me know how I can further clarify this question.

Thanks!
Doug

Marc,

I was not aware of these tutorials. Thank you for providing the link. You are right in that it appears they should be able to provide me the jump-start I need! :astonished:

Again, much appreciated!
