Use Search with Wildcards

Note: You don’t need to add wildcards at the beginning or end of your search—our system does this for you automatically.

However, you can use special symbols to refine your search:

  • % – Represents zero or more characters
    Example: br% finds br, bracelet, break, and brink.
  • _ – Represents a single character
    Example: f_r finds far, fir, for, and fur.
  • [] – Represents any single character within the brackets
    Example: s[ia]nk finds sink and sank, but not sunk.
  • [^] – Excludes characters inside the brackets
    Example: s[^ia]nk finds sunk, but not sink or sank.
  • [-] – Represents any character within the specified range
    Example: s[e-o]n finds sin and son, but not sun.
