Becomes
name:"sample.tx*" AND tag:important AND tag:report AND content:"annual*"
By default KQL uses
AND
as property restriction and the query described above
can also be formulated as followsname:"sample.tx*" tag:important tag:report content:"annual*"
More advanced syntax like grouping combined with boolean property restriction is
supported too(name:"sample*" name:"*txt") tag:important OR tag:report content:"annual*"
BREAKING CHANGE for developers: the term which will be passed to the
search
method of search providers is now wrapped insidename:"..."

that behaviour you need to strip it out, e.g. via simple regex:const rawTerm = term.match(new RegExp('name:"\\*(.*?)\\*"'))

DavProperties
coming from theweb-client

the ownCloudSDK in favor of a new implementation inweb-client
.There is a new subset
