hihi.

 

I'd like to use the Advanced Search to isolate content items in my AGOL that are NOT in a group. The Boolean search terms seem like they might get close, but at least according to this documentation it seems like there are limits to making queries like that. 

Honestly I'm thinking of the search functions available in gmail, like is:not read or has:attachment. Perhaps these terms are part of some tailored search system inside Gmail, but it seems like "content NOT IN group" would be a great way to search and would align with the structure of this system in a useful way that would make sense. Maybe it's there(!) and I don't know.

Anyway, have a great day.

Sharing of an item can be filtered in search using the "access" item information field.

For example, if you want to find all of the items with "test" in the title that are private to the owner (i.e., not shared with a group, nor shared publicly or with the organization):

title:test AND access:private

If you are, however, interested in your searching find items that are private to the owner (i.e., not shared with a group), but which may or may not also be shared publicly or with the organization, then you are out of luck. The "access" item information field only records a single value. It captures the highest level of sharing, so if an item is shared publicly or with the organization, then "access" is set to either "public" or "org". So there is currently no way that I have found in Search to determine if an item shared at either of those two levels is also shared with a group or not.

Thanks, @PeterKnoop. I'd like to become more adept at the advanced search things, but it seems like the thing I was hoping for isn't quite there... Appreciate your answer.
