The search field supports wild card searches, which are represented by asterisks (*) in the system. You can enter asterisks before, after, and on either side of any search string.
The following table describes what the system searches for in the example of a wild card search for Cotton.
Wild Card String | System Search | Examples of Search Results |
Cotton* | All specified objects whose name begins with the string Cotton. | Cotton Shirt |
