RE: [dtsearch] Wildcards

I think its because "SerialNumberWriteLevel" does not end with Write.

 

"Serial*Write" = find words that start with “Serial” and end with “Write”

 

"Serial*Level" = find words that start with “Serial” and end with “Level”

I have a .cpp file that is indexed and has the word
"SerialNumberWriteLevel". I could not find it with "Serial*Write", but
eventually found it with "Serial*Level".

Why did "Serial*Write" not find it?
(Noise does not contain serial, number, write, or level).

Serial*Write* would have found the word. You would have needed a wildcard at the end because your term has "WriteLevel" not "Write" at the end. _____ From:...

You would need to enter: "Serial*Write*" for it to work. What you entered has the system looking for something that starts with "Serial" and ends with "Write"....

There is a small syntax error in your approach. The "Serial*Write" search operator is looking for a word that begins with serial then ends with write, and...

Try "Serial*Write*" That should take care of it. ________________________________ From: dtsearch@yahoogroups.com on behalf of sjohnson11402 Sent: Fri...
