The DD300 search capabilities are so robust and dynamic you'd be hard-pressed to come up with any form of structured or unstructured data that can't be found. You want SSNs? DOB? Address, state, ZIP formats? Need to search .pst files for emails with certain content or keywords? No problem.
The query can be enhanced by enabling different search features. Stemming recognizes an equivalence between multiple grammatical forms, such as "library" and "libraries." Phonics, synonyms and "fuzzy" searching features find close matches.

Verdict
From discovery to indexing to searching and reporting, the DD300 is a versatile, intuitive and feature-rich data discovery device.
Testing methodology: We set up test file servers and workstations with data files across dozens of shares.
