The Content Classes section displays a list of the content classes defined for the tenant. When you select a content class, an additional field appears in the query area, as shown below.
The dropdown list for the added field contains the content properties in the selected content class.
Each content property has a data type, such as integer or string, that determines the operators and values you can specify. The table below lists the possible data types.

The does and does not operators test for the existence of the specified content property. That is, does exist condition matches only objects with custom metadata that have the specified content property. One use for the does exist condition is to limit the scope of the is not and does not contain operators.
The is not and does not contain operators match all objects that don't have the content property value specified by the value field. As a result, the criterion matches objects without the content property, and even those with no custom metadata at all. To make sure that a query matches only objects with custom metadata identified by the content property, use two criteria for the content property, one with an is not or does not contain operator and one with a does operator with the exist value.
