Wildcard (*)

Using an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character in a search string lets you find all elements or all elements that begin with the same characters you specify. You can use wildcards in the following ways:

• When the wildcard is used as the only character of a search string, all members of the search field are returned.
• When the wildcard is used as the last character of a search string, all members of the search field beginning with the characters in the search string preceding the wildcard are returned. For example, entering UPD*, returns all elements beginning with UPD, such as UPDATED or UPDATE.
• You cannot use more than one wildcard in the same search string. For example, entering U*PD* would result in an error.
