DOVEADM-SEARCH(1)		    Dovecot		     DOVEADM-SEARCH(1)

NAME
       doveadm-search - Show a list of mailbox GUIDs and message UIDs matching
       given search query.

SYNOPSIS
       doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] search [-S socket_path] search_query
       doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] search [-S socket_path] -A search_query
       doveadm	[-Dv]  [-f  formatter]	search	[-S   socket_path]   -u	  user
       search_query

DESCRIPTION
       The  search command is used to find matching messages.  doveadm(1) will
       print the mailbox's guid and the message's uid for each match.
       When used with the -A or -u wildcard options, doveadm(1) will print the
       fields username, mailbox-guid and uid for each matching message.

       In  the first form, doveadm(1) will executed the search action with the
       environment of the logged in system user.

       In the second form, the command will be performed for all users.

       In the third form, only matching mails of the  given  user(s)  will  be
       searched.

OPTIONS
       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -f formatter
	      Specifies	 the  formatter	 for formatting the output.  Supported
	      formatters are:

	      flow   prints each line with key=value pairs.

	      pager  prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates
		     records with form feed character (^L).

	      tab    prints  a	table  header  followed by tab separated value
		     lines.

	      table  prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.

       -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

       This command uses by default the output	formatter  flow	 (without  the
       key= prefix).

       Command specific options:

       -A     If  the  -A option is present, the command will be performed for
	      all users.  Using this option in combination with	 system	 users
	      from  userdb  { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it
	      contains also users with a lower UID  than  the  one  configured
	      with the first_valid_uid setting.

	      When  the	 SQL  userdb  module  is used make sure that the iter‐
	      ate_query setting in  /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext  matches
	      your  database  layout.  When using the LDAP userdb module, make
	      sure that	 the  iterate_attrs  and  iterate_filter  settings  in
	      /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema.  Oth‐
	      erwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.

       -S socket_path
	      The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX
	      domain  socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order
	      to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.

	      This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands
	      through the given socket.

       -u user/mask
	      Run  the command only for the given user.	 It's also possible to
	      use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
	      When neither the -A option nor -u user was specified,  the  com‐
	      mand  will  be  executed	with  the environment of the currently
	      logged in user.

ARGUMENTS
       search_query
	      Show    messages	  matching    this    search	query.	   See
	      doveadm-search-query(7) for details.

EXAMPLE
       This example demonstrates how to search in user bob's dovecot mailboxes
       all messages, which contains the word "todo" in the Subject: header.

       doveadm search -u bob mailbox dovecot\* subject todo
       3a94c928d66ebe4bda04000015811c6a	  8
       3a94c928d66ebe4bda04000015811c6a	  25
       3a94c928d66ebe4bda04000015811c6a	  45

       The  search  command  is	 mainly	 useful	 when	used   together	  with
       doveadm fetch  command.	For example to save message bodies of all mes‐
       sages from INBOX that have "todo" in subject, use:

       doveadm search -u bob mailbox INBOX subject todo |
       while read guid uid; do
	 doveadm fetch -u bob body mailbox-guid $guid uid $uid > msg.$uid
       done
