Examples of Relational Queries

Note

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

The following examples illustrate the use of the relational and bitwise-comparison operators.
