Use the Set-MailboxSearch cmdlet to modify an existing mailbox search.

Caution:
Unless you use the SourceMailboxes parameter to specify which mailboxes you want to search, mailbox searches are performed across all computers running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 in an Exchange organization. If the search you want to modify is running, stop it before using the Set-MailboxSearch cmdlet. When restarting a search, any previous search results are removed from the target mailbox.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Multi-Mailbox Search" entry in the Messaging Policy and Compliance Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Identity	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.SearchObjectIdParameter	The Identity parameter specifies the name of the mailbox search.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
DomainController	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn	The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.
DoNotIncludeArchive	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The DoNotIncludeArchive parameter specifies whether items in the user's Archive mailbox are included in mailbox searches. By default, items in the user's Archive mailbox are included in mailbox searches. If set to `$true`, the DoNotIncludeArchive parameter instructs Multi-Mailbox Search to exclude archive mailboxes from the search.
EndDate	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.ExchangeSystem.ExDateTime	The EndDate parameter specifies an end date for the search.
EstimateOnly	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The EstimateOnly switch specifies that only an estimate of the number of items that will be returned is provided. Messages aren't copied to the target mailbox.
ExcludeDuplicateMessages	Optional	System.Boolean	The ExcludeDuplicateMessages parameter eliminates duplication of messages across mailboxes.
Force	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Force switch suppresses the confirmation prompt displayed before modifying a search. When modifying a search, previous search results are removed from the target mailbox, and the search is restarted after modification. The Force switch doesn't require a value.
IncludeUnsearchableItems	Optional	System.Boolean	The IncludeUnsearchableItems parameter specifies whether Multi-Mailbox Search includes unsearchable items in the search results. If set to `$true`, Multi-Mailbox Search includes unsearchable items in the search results. These items, regardless of whether they match the search criteria, are copied to the target mailbox.
Language	Optional	System.Globalization.CultureInfo	The Language parameter specifies a locale for the mailbox search.
LogLevel	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.Infoworker.MailboxSearch.LoggingLevel	The LogLevel parameter specifies a logging level for the mailbox search. Valid values are: `Basic` Basic details of the search are kept. `Full` In addition to details in the Basic logging level, a full list of all messages returned is included. `Suppress` Logging is suppressed. No logs are kept.
MessageTypes	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Search.AqsParser.KindKeyword[]	The MessageTypes parameter specifies the message types that should be included in the mailbox search. Valid values include: `Email` `Meetings` `Tasks` `Notes` `Docs` `Journals` `Contacts` `IM`
Name	Optional	System.String	The Name parameter specifies a name for the search. The top-level folder created in the target mailbox, where items returned by the search are copied, is also named after the search name.
Recipients	Optional	System.String[]	The Recipients parameter specifies one or more recipients and is a part of the mailbox search query. Messages addressed to any recipient specified in the Recipients parameter are returned.
SearchDumpster	Optional	System.Boolean	The SearchDumpster parameter specifies whether the dumpster is searched. The dumpster is a storage area in the mailbox where deleted items are temporarily stored after being deleted or removed from the Deleted Items folder, or after being hard-deleted, and before being purged from the mailbox based on Deleted Item Retention settings. By default, items in the dumpster aren't searched. Set the value to `$true` to enable searching the dumpster.
SearchQuery	Optional	System.String	The SearchQuery parameter specifies a search query using the Advanced Query Syntax. If a query isn't specified, the entire mailbox is copied to the target mailbox. If other search parameters such as Senders, Recipients, Startdate, and EndDate are specified, these are combined by using the AND operator with the SearchQuery parameter.
Senders	Optional	System.String[]	The Senders parameter specifies one or more senders. Messages sent by the specified senders are returned by the search. Senders can include users, distribution groups, SMTP addresses, or domains. If distribution groups are specified, messages sent by distribution group members are returned in the search results.
SourceMailboxes	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter[]	The SourceMailboxes parameter specifies the mailboxes to be searched by Multi-Mailbox Search. If no mailboxes are explicitly specified by using the SourceMailboxes parameter, all mailboxes located on Exchange 2010 servers across the entire organization are searched.
StartDate	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.ExchangeSystem.ExDateTime	The StartDate parameter specifies a start date for the mailbox search. Messages dated on or after the start date are returned by the search.
StatusMailRecipients	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.RecipientIdParameter[]	The StatusMailRecipients parameter specifies one or more recipients to receive a status e-mail message upon completion of the search.
TargetMailbox	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxIdParameter	The TargetMailbox parameter specifies the mailbox to which items returned by the search are copied.
WhatIf	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
