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:

Wildcard Character	Description
*	Represents a string of characters. For example, when you search for sale* , Metadata Manager returns objects named sale, sales, and salescode.
?	Represents a single character. For example, when you search for sa?es , Metadata Manager returns objects named sales and saves.
