Wildcard Characters for Search

 
The "^" activator also precedes special characters defined as wildcards. A wildcard character is used to replace a group of characters, such as a group of letters, numbers, punctuation marks, etc., or a special element of the text. The wildcard characters that can be used are as follows: - "*" (asterisk): any character except space. - "?" (question mark): any letter of the alphabet. - "%" (percent sign): any consonant. - "&" (ampersand): any vowel. - "@" (at sign): any accented vowel. - "<" (less than): any lowercase letter. - ">" (greater than): any uppercase letter. - "#" (hashtag): any number. - "_" (underscore): any punctuation mark. - "!" (exclamation mark): any other character except letters, numbers, or punctuation marks. - "p": end of paragraph. - "l": end of line. - "t": tab character. For example, if you enter the string "terr^&," the words "terra," "terre," etc., will be found in the document. To use wildcard characters, it is necessary to activate the corresponding search criterion from the appropriate options list.
