Wildcard characters

Wildcard characters provide a way to make your search for text more general by standing in for unknown characters. Wildcard characters can match any character.

Table 1. Supported wildcard characters
Character Description
? Matches any single character. For example, Mari?n finds Marian, Marion, Marianne and Mariano, but does not find Mariee, or Maria.
* Matches zero or more characters. For example, Ca* Finds Carmen JONES, and Caitlin FISK, but does not find CA 5680
Note:
Unlike a simple search, a wildcard search is case-sensitive.
