The buttons at the top and bottom of this page allow you to try Sandpit Search for yourself, Sandpit Search was initially built as part of the Elcee project and has been slightly modified to allow you to use it with your own emails, click here for details.
To construct a query drag items from the list into the sandpit and create links between them using boxes drawn around them. You can also use the date slider to specify one or more date ranges.
When After your query is executed the results will be displayed in the results panel. The results list is all of the subjects of the emails that match your search.
Depending upon the number of emails you have, the email provider you use and the speed of the internet connection you are using the search could take some time to execute, any noticable delay is as a result of these factors not the Sandpit Search itself. Be patient, it will work!
To use this demonstration with your own emails you will need the following details:
When you start the program you will be asked a security question, this is because the application uses your internet connection to search your emails. None of your personal details or passwords are recorded. Click "Run" to continue.
When you start the program you will be able to select from some presets for common email providers or enter other details. Please note, this demo can only be used with IMAP or POP based email providers so it cannot directly interact with Microsoft Exchange email servers (unless they have IMAP or POP enabled).
Your username and password are those that you use to log in to your email account
If you cannot login then you might need to change the settings with your mail provider to allow access via email clients
