Q. Using wildcard characters in searches

The following wildcard characters can be included in searches using the Library Search Box:

• ?- enter a question mark to perform a single character wildcard search. For example, type m?n to search for records contain man and men.
• *- enter an asterisk to perform a multiple character wildcard search. For example, type parent* to search for records that contain strings, such as parents and parenting.

Wildcard characters placed at the start of a search term are ignored by the system. For example, search terms entered as ?ale and *ale will perform a search as though you entered the term ale.
