Enable Advanced Boolean Search Filters When Exporting Legal Hold Content
While Box allows export of content under Legal Hold, the workflow lacks Boolean search capabilities to refine the export dataset. Users can’t currently apply logical conditions like AND, OR, NOT, or grouping filters (e.g., "contract AND 2023" OR "proposal NOT draft") before exporting files. This limitation forces bulk exports and requires manual filtering post-download.
Proposed Enhancement:
Integrate Boolean search operators into the Legal Hold export interface.
Allow users to construct logical queries across file content, metadata, filename, custodian, date range, and folder path.
Enable advanced filters: (“Project A” AND “budget”) OR (“legal hold” NOT “archived”).
Display matching results with export checkboxes and preview options.
Log applied search filters and export actions for compliance auditing.
