Wildcards

Wildcards are used whenever it is necessary to match characters.

There are two types:

The Asterisk (*)

The asterisk sign (*) matches zero or more characters. It can be used to match an email address or name by 'isolating' the characters to search.

Example

*[email protected]*

This would return all data that had this email address surrounded by any characters.

The Question Mark (?)

The question mark (?) matches a single character.

Example

Order? would return any Order that was followed by ONE character.
