Re: [dtsearch] Wildcards

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 hence will correctly not yield a hit.

To correct this search instead for "Serial*Write*"
Note the additional wild card at the end.

Hope that helps.

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"....

I think its because "SerialNumberWriteLevel" does not end with Write. "Serial*Write" = find words that start with "Serial" and end with "Write" "Serial*Level"...

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