Wildcard Searches ….

Using Wildcard Searches – I was always under the impression that the only wildcard that worked in Exploris was the % sign.  Well when you are in the F8 Part Entry screen and click on the P/N field or if your in POS and click on the PN/SKU/UPC field you can use the following wildcards.  %, *, ?,  _

The percent sign % and the asterisk *, both perform the same search which is for multiple characters.

The question mark ? and underscore _ can be used to replace one character.

Also if you want to use a wildcard at the beginning of a search you have to put it in brackets [%] or [*] for a multi character search or [_] or [?] to replace one character.  (GregH-Note –I think this is obsolete …try it without the brackets and see )

You can put in multiple ? or _ to replace 2 or more characters. For example [___] or  [???] will do 3 characters.

Here are a couple of screen shots.  The important thing is for you to try it …play with it …what can you find …
