The table below presents the properties you can use in advanced queries while the metadata query engine is active. For each property, the table shows the case-sensitive property name, the data type, a description, an example, and the equivalent structured search property, if any. For information about specifying datetime values, see Specifying dates.

changeTime Milliseconds |
String |
The time at which the object last changed. For delete, dispose, prune, and purge records, this is the time when the operation was performed on the object. The value is the time in milliseconds since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC, followed by a period and a two-digit suffix. The suffix ensures that the change times for versions of an object are unique. This property corresponds to the POSIX ctime attribute for the object. |

N/A |
hash |
String |
The cryptographic hash algorithm used to compute the hash value of the object, followed by a space and the hash value of the object. The values you specify for both hash algorithms and values are case sensitive. You need to use uppercase letters when specifying these values. If you do not specify wildcard characters in the value for this property, you need to enclose the entire value for this property in double quotation marks. When using wildcard characters with this object property, instead of a space, separate the hash algorithm and the hash value with a wildcard character. In this case, do not enclose the value for this property in double quotation marks. |

String |
For objects in HCP namespaces, the user that owns the object. Valid values are: •For objects that have an owner: USER,location,username •For objects with no owner: GROUP,location,all_users •For objects that existed before the HCP system was upgraded from a pre-5.0 release and that have not subsequently had their owner changed: nobody In these values: •location is the location in which the user account for the object owner is defined. This can be: oThe name of an HCP tenant oThe internal ID of an HCP tenant oAn Active Directory domain preceded by an at sign (@) Internal IDs of HCP tenants are not returned in query results. For objects with no owner, location is the name of the tenant that owns the namespace in which the object is stored. |

•username is the name of the user that owns the object. This can be: oThe username of a user account that’s defined in HCP. oThe username of an Active Directory user account. This can be either the user principal name or the Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name for the user account. This object property is not returned for objects in the default namespace. If you are accessing the Search Console with a tenant-level user account that’s defined in HCP, you can specify this advanced query to find objects owned by that user account: owner:USER These considerations apply when you specify the owner property: •The entire value must be enclosed in double quotation marks ("). •The asterisk (*) wildcard is not supported. •The location values you specify are not case sensitive. •The username values you specify, except for all_users, are not case sensitive. •USER, GROUP, and nobody are case sensitive. |

1. HCP maintains the time for this property as a value that includes milliseconds, but the property format uses seconds. As a result, specifying a single datetime value for this property in a query does not return all expected results. Instead, take one of these actions:
•Specify a range of values for the property. •Specify the corresponding property with the type long. For example, instead of specifying 2. You cannot specify a range of values for this property. 3. You can use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wildcard characters when specifying values for this property. 4. For information about content properties see Content properties. |
