Description
number range Searches for a range of numbers using the standard mathematical interval
notation of parentheses and/or brackets to indicate whether the endpoints are
excluded or included respectively
Example: (2,4] indicates greater than two and less than or equal to four
not equal
Excludes issues specified by the string when you precede the string with the
exclamation character (!)
Example: file:!Main.java returns all issues that are not in Main.java
You can further qualify search terms with modifiers. The syntax for using a modifier is
modifier:<search_term>.
A search query can contain multiple modifiers and search terms. If you specify more than one
modifier, the search returns only issues that match all the modified search terms. For example,
file:ApplicationContext.java category:SQL Injection returns only SQL injection issues
found in ApplicationContext.java.
If you use the same modifier more than once in a search query, then the search terms qualified by
those modifiers are treated as an OR comparison. For example, file:ApplicationContext.java
category:SQL Injection category:Cross-Site Scripting returns SQL injection issues and
cross-site scripting issues found in ApplicationContext.java.
For complex searches, you can also insert the AND or the OR keyword between your search queries.
Note that AND and OR operations have the same priority in searches.

Search Modifiers
You can use a search modifier to specify to which attribute of an issue the search term applies. To use
a modifier that contains a space in the name, such as the name of the custom tag, you must enclose
the modifier in brackets. For example, to search for issues that are new, type [issue age]:new.
A search that is not qualified by a modifier matches the search query based on the following
attributes: kingdom, primary rule id, analyzer, filename, severity, class name, function name, instance
id, package, confidence, type, subtype, taint flags, category, sink, and source.
l
To apply the search to all modifiers, type a string such as control flow. This searches all the
modifiers and returns any results that contain the "control flow" string.
