Interaction of value search and wildcard search

By default, value search allows wildcards at the end of the search term (such as gua* for the search term guarantee).

To enable wildcards elsewhere in a search term, you must set the mdex-config_EnableValueSearchWildcard attribute in the Global Configuration Record (GCR) to true, for the standard attribute in your records.

The following examples illustrate how the Dgraph treats wildcards in value searches:

A wildcard search at the end of the search term, such as gua*, is conducted by the Dgraph for all standard attributes for which value search is enabled.
Wildcard searches of type *uara and g*ara are conducted by the Dgraph only if the GCR attribute mdex-config_EnableValueSearchWildcard is set to true for the corresponding standard attribute on your records. The default value for this attribute is false, meaning that wildcard search is disabled for value search.
