I'd like to get the granular restore from search working when using a SharePoint 2010 backup. I've discovered what I need to put in the "location" field with file restores and exchange restores but nothing I put in there for SharePoint seems to work.
What needs to be in the location field? The only way I can return any search results is if I put anything into the "location" field and nothing into the file name field. When I do that it returns all the results in my whole SharePoint farm.
I've tried using the content database name and URL and neither of those work.

Ok, I believe I've figured out how to search for SharePoint files but has anyone successfully used the search feature for Exchange or any other type of restore? I thought this new feature would come in handy for when people say they deleted an email "around a certain timeframe" but unless you specify a very small 1 or 2 day backup range the search seems to take forever and usually doesn't ever finish.

Hi,
How are you giving the search criteria? Just a day range or also something else like a mailbox name? If your exchange database is huge there is a chance that the results maybe taking time to show up if you are not using more granular filters.
Try giving a mailbox name plus the date range as the search criteria.
Thanks
