Wildcard Characters

Wildcard Characters

You can use wildcard characters to define one or more characters in a search. You can use a wildcard character as the first character in a search query.
Use wildcard characters in basic searches and in advanced searches that use an "is" search condition. You do not need to specify a wildcard character in advanced searches that use a "contains" or "starts with" search condition.
The following table describes wildcard characters that you can use:
