-Use `filter <String>` to filter messages by `createTime` and `thread.name`.
+To filter messages by the time they were created:
+  * `start|starttime <Date>|<Time>` - Display messages created on or after the `<Date>|<Time>`
+  * `end|endtime <Date>|<Time>` - Display messages created before the `<Date>|<Time>`
+  * `range <Date>|<Time> <Date>|<Time>` - Display messages created on or after the first `<Date>|<Time>` and before the second `<Date>|<Time>`
 
-To filter messages by the date they were created, specify the createTime with a timestamp in RFC-3339 format and double quotation marks. For example, "2023-04-21T11:30:00-04:00".
-* Use the greater than operator `>` to list messages that were created after a timestamp.
-* Use the less than operator `<` to list messages that were created before a timestamp.
-* To filter messages within a time interval, use the AND operator between two timestamps.
-* To filter by thread, specify the thread.name, formatted as spaces/{space}/threads/{thread}. You can only specify one thread.name per query.
-* To filter by both thread and date, use the AND operator in your query.
+Use `thread <String>` to filter messages by their thread name, e.g., `spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123`.
 
-For example, the following queries are valid on Linux/MacOS:
+## Display Chat Messages by Searching

-filter "createTime > \"2012-04-21T11:30:00-04:00\" AND thread.name = spaces/AAAAAAAAAAA/threads/123"

+By default, all spaces the user has access to are searched; use the following options to limit the search.
+  * `<ChatSpace>*` - Specific chat spaces
+  * `displaynames [all|any] <StringList>` - Spaces with display names with partial matches of `all|any` of the words in `<StringList>`
+
+Use the following to limit the search to messages with specific characteristics.
+  * `senders <EmailAddressEntity>` - Messages with any sender in `<EmailAddressEntity>`
+  * `usermentions [all|any] <EmailAddressEntity>` - Messages with mentions af `all|any` users in `<EmailAddressEntity>`
+  * `start|starttime <Date>|<Time>` - Messages created on or after the `<Date>|<Time>`
+  * `end|endtime <Date>|<Time>` - Messages created before the `<Date>|<Time>`

+* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.
+
+By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote `"`. The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain
+the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled.
+When using the `formatjson` option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/process output.
+The `quotechar <Character>` option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/processable output.
+`quotechar` defaults to `gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char`. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote `"` should be used.
