Task: Create Keyword Query Language (KeyQL) queries using natural language to search in eDiscovery (Premium)
In this task, you explore the capability of Copilot in Microsoft Purview eDiscovery (Premium) to create Keyword Query Language (KeyQL) queries using natural language. Users provide a prompt in natural language and Copilot generates a query in KeyQL language, making your search iterations faster and more accurate. This feature also enables analysts, at all levels, to conduct advanced investigations using KeyQL.
Microsoft Copilot assumes the permissions of the user when it tries to access the data to answer queries. To access data associated with the Microsoft Purview eDiscovery solution, users should have previously been assigned an appropriate role.

Now use Copilot draft a query in natural language. Select Draft a query with Copilot.
- From the box labeled natural language prompt, select View prompts. This is a great starting point. You could look at suggested prompts to determine how to craft a natural language query for suggested prompts. For example, Find all emails containing the words budget and finance and have attachments.
- For this example, however, you know what you are looking for. You’ve been told that you need to find all conversations related to a recent acquisition. Use copy/paste to enter Find all conversations that contain the keywords; acquisition, stock, Bitdefender, Frostvision, offshore.
- When you enter your natural language prompt, you can have Copilot refine the query to ensure a more accurate query output. Select Refine then Accept.
- Select Generate KeyQL. Copilot for Security refines the prompt and then in a simple click, can generate the query within seconds!
- The purpose of this exercise is to show how easily Copilot can generate the code for a query using natural language. In your production environment, to run the generated query copy the KeyQL code into the run box and select run.
