Wildcard search:
A wildcard is a character that can be used to search term to represent one or more characters.

1. The question mark ("?") may be used to represent a single alphanumeric character in a search expression. For example, searching for the term "p*t" would yield results which contain such words as "pet" and "pot".
2. An asterisk ("*") may be used to specify zero or more alphanumeric characters. For example, searching for the term "h*s" would yield results which contain such words as "his", "homes", "houses", etc. A search term consisting of a lone asterisk and no other alphanumeric characters will retrieve every record from the database.
