Wild Cards

Use wild cards (% * _ ) to ensure a large net is being used when you search.

  • % or *   represent any character and any number of characters (including zero characters)

  • an underscore character ( _ ) represents any one character (Example: PH__A could be used to search for names that fit the pattern P H x x A (two underscores were used here) 

If you aren’t sure of the spelling, use wild cards to broaden your search.
