How to filter Lotus Notes database messages

 Lotus Notes allows filtering messages inside folders by some text value from message content and by part of the sender’s or recipient’s address.

GroupDocs.Viewer also allows filtering the rendered messages using the following filters:

• Filter by subject and content using lotusNotesOptions.setTextFilter(…);
• Filter by the sender’s and recipient’s email addresses using lotusNotesOptions.setAddressFilter(…);

As an example, when setting lotusNotesOptions.setTextFilter(…) as Microsoft  the API will render all messages that contain the text Microsoft in the message’s subject or body. Whereas, setting lotusNotesOptions.setAddressFilter(…) as susan will filter messages that contain susan as a part of the sender’s or recipient’s address. The following code samples show how to filter the messages.

    try (Viewer viewer = new Viewer("sample.nsf")) {
        HtmlViewOptions viewOptions = HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources();
        HtmlViewOptions options = HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources(pageFilePathFormat);
        options.getLotusNotesOptions().setTextFilter("April 2015");
        options.getLotusNotesOptions().setAddressFilter("test@test.com");
        viewer.view(viewOptions);
    }
