Syntax question for Notes search

How can I tell whether the client is using notes query or web query syntax when conducting local searches?

Subject: Your question lacks details…

If you’re talking about full-text search, there is only one query syntax.

If that’s not what this is about, you must supply much more information about your question.

Subject: all the info I had

Well the user wasnt clear, she just asked if it could be determined what syntax the client is using

Subject: Since the user is apparently not available for you to get clarification to her question…

…how were you going to get the answer back to her?
