Using Wildcard Characters

You can include the following wildcard characters in your searches:

  • ? – enter a question mark to perform a single character wildcard search. For example, type wom?n to search for records that contain the strings woman, women, and so forth.

    For searches in which the search query ends with a question mark, results will not include the search term (such as warm if the query was warm?).

  • * – enter an asterisk to perform a multiple character wildcard search. For example, type cultur* to search for records that contain strings, such as culture, cultural, and culturally.
