DA Search exclude looking at attachements?

Hello,

Firstly, I'm the I.T. guy, not the typical user of DA - just trying fill in for something here.  When doing a search in "Research", I have some terms that I'd like to use to search the message body/ subject, but not to look inside any attachments.  This does not seem to be possible??  It must be possible, its more likely I'm just not seeing how it can be possible.  My Search terms seem to be From, To, To or from, Subject, content, Subject or content and all.  I'm gathering that content is where attachements are included... but since there is no body field, I guess content is also where the body of a message comes from.

I'm using EV/ DA 9

Thanks!

    So as you figured out DA is going to search the attachments as well when you are doing searches for subject and content. 

    I cant really think of a way to limit this.  The one thing is that in the review screen your hotword will be highlighted in the body and if the word isnt in the body you can mark is as not relevant and move to the next hit.  Then when you export you can export based on a mark and only export what applies.
