Wildcards in Searches

Search supports question mark (?) and asterisk (*) wildcards. When using wildcards in terms, keep the following in mind:

Using the question mark (?) symbol performs a single character wildcard search. This option matches terms that contain single, alternate characters in place of the question mark.
Using the asterisk (*) symbol performs a zero (0) or more character wildcard search. This option matches terms that contain zero or more characters in place of the asterisk.
CloudAdvisor supports the use of wildcards within single terms. It does not support wildcards within phrases.
You can use wildcards inside of a term or at the end of a term. You cannot use wildcards at the beginning of a term.

The following table provides examples of wildcard usage:

Syntax	Description
te?t	Searches for files containing words that contain single, alternate characters in place of the question mark (?). For example, this search syntax would find files containing the words "text" or "test".
test*	Searches for files containing words that contain zero or more characters in place of the asterisk (*). For example, this search syntax would find files containing the words "test", "tests", "tester", or "testing".
*ing	Unsupported syntax. You cannot use wildcards to begin a search.
