Wild Cards

The control central searches against Name, Address, and City support wild cards. The wild card character is % and represents any number or character. The system always appends a % for you when you use these search methods. Examples will help clarify this functionality:

• If you enter a B, the system searches for B% (and will find all objects that begin with B ).
• If you enter B%N, the system searches for B%N%. It will find anything that
  • Starts with a B, and
  • has zero or more other characters followed by an N.
• If you enter %B the system searches for %B%. It will find anything with a B in it, no matter what it starts and ends with.
