Wildcard character searches

A wildcard character search is a placeholder that searches one or more characters. Wildcards can also be combined with other characters to create a search pattern.

Platform supports single and multiple character wildcard character searches:

To perform a single wildcard character search, use the "?" symbol.
To perform a multiple wildcard character search, use the "*" symbol.

The single wildcard character search looks for terms that match those with the single character replaced. For example, to search for text or test you can use the search:

te?t

Multiple wildcard character search looks for 0 or more characters. For example, to search for test, tests or tester, you can use the search:

test*

You can also use the wildcard character search in the middle of a term:

te*t

Note: You cannot use a "*" or "?" symbol as the first character of a search.

Wildcard character searches can be executed in the Global Search and Keyword Search.
