    <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

    <para>mdsearch is a simple utility to run Spotlight searches against an SMB server
    that runs the Spotlight <emphasis>mdssvc</emphasis> RPC service.</para>

	<term>query</term>
	<listitem>
	  <para>The query expression syntax is a simplified form of filename
	  globbing familiar to shell users. Queries have the following
	  format:</para>

	  <para>attribute=="value"</para>

	  <para>For queries against a Samba server with Spotlight enabled using
	  the Elasticsearch backend, the list of supported metadata attributes
	  is given by the JSON attribute mapping file, typically installed at
	  <filename>/usr/share/samba/mdssvc/elasticsearch_mappings.json</filename>
	  </para>
	</listitem>
      </varlistentry>
