Wildcard Support in Reports Queries

Situation

Rule

When no wildcards are used

If you do not enter a wildcard character in the Search box, then Reports performs a “LIKE” search, meaning that it will identify any occurrence of your search text in the field being searched.

For example, if you enter the word test in the Search box, Reports would interpret this as *test* and would return any records containing the word test (including MyTestFile and TestFile).

When wildcards are used

You can specify a * wildcard in the Search box to narrow the search results.

For example, if you want to return all records which contain the word test but do not begin with it, enter *test in the Search box. Then records with the word MyTest would be returned, but not records with the word TestFile.
