By default KQL uses
AND
as property restriction and the query described above can also be
formulated as followsname:"sample.tx*" tag:important tag:report content:"annual*"
More advanced syntax like grouping combined with boolean property restriction is supported
too(name:"sample*" name:"*txt") tag:important OR tag:report content:"annual*"
