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]   -F	  file
       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, the command will be performed for all users listed
       in the given file.

       In the fourth 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.

       -o setting=value
	      Overrides the configuration  setting  from  /usr/local/etc/dove‐
	      cot/dovecot.conf	and  from the userdb with the given value.  In
	      order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be speci‐
	      fied multiple times.

       -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 /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
	      matches your database layout.  When using the LDAP  userdb  mod‐
	      ule,  make  sure	that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter set‐
	      tings in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your
	      LDAP  schema.   Otherwise	 doveadm(1)  will be unable to iterate
	      over all users.

       -F file
	      Execute the command for all the users in the file.  This is sim‐
	      ilar  to the -A option, but instead of getting the list of users
	      from the userdb, they are read from the given  file.   The  file
	      contains one username per line.

       -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 the -F file option, nor the
	      -u user was specified, the command 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

REPORTING BUGS
       Report  bugs, including doveconf -n output, to the Dovecot Mailing List
       <dovecot@dovecot.org>.  Information about reporting bugs	 is  available
