Can wildcards be used when searching?
Can wildcards be used when searching?
Can wildcards be used when searching?
If the search is for Contains, Starts With, Ends With, or Like then some wildcards are supported:
Wildcard
Description
Example
%
Matches 0 or more characters
John% matches John, Johnson, Johnathan.
_
Matches any single character
A__a matches Alma, Alva, Anna
[abc]
Matches any character in the list
[adl][aen]na matches Anna, Dana, Lena
[a-c]
Matches any character in the range.
Note
: 0 is considered to come after the number 9. To get a range of 0-5 you would use [01-5].
[a-cy-z]% matches everything that starts with A, B, C, X, Y, or Z.
Wild cards can be mixed and matched:
[4-7]-1% matches anything that starts with 4, 5, 6, or 7 followed by a hyphen and 1 then any number of characters. Depending on your account number setup, this type of search might find all Revenue and Expense accounts for your upper school.
[q-twzf-h]___ matches a 4 letter word that starts with F, G, H, Q, R, S, T, W, or Z. Notice how you can have a mix of ranges and single characters within the same brackets.
When might you use wild cards?
- Accounting can use wildcards to match all accounts.
Example
: If you have a 6 digit account number, _3_5__ would find all accounts where the second digit is 3 and the 4th digit is 5.
- Searching for names where you don’t know the correct spelling.
Example
: You don’t know if the name is spelled Johnson, Jahnson, Jonson, Jonnson, or some other obscure spelling. But you do know that it starts with a J and ends with son: J%son
