Custom Wildcard Searches
You can perform your own customized wildcard searches --- this can be a very powerful
method of locating documents.
Wildcard Character: %
A wildcard search is performed by pre-pending, post-pending, or framing the wildcard
character % to the search criteria.
For example, you're looking for information about a lot in the Hilltop subdivision.
You know the lot number begins with a 5, but you're not sure if it contains a suffix
such as 5A. By entering Lot 5, Hilltop subdivision only documents relating to Lot 5 in the Hilltop
subdivision will be returned.
In this example you would enter 5% into the lot field and select Hilltop from
the subdivision list. All documents concerning the Hilltop subdivision and lots
that BEGIN with 5 would be shown in the result list. This would include lot 5, 5A, 5D, 52, 593, etc.
Another variation on this example: you enter %5 into the lot field and select Hilltop
from the subdivision list. All documents concerning the Hilltop subdivision and
lots that END with 5 would be shown in the result list. For example 15, 245, A5,
etc.
Final variation on this example: you enter %5% into the lot field and select Hilltop
from the subdivision list. All documents concerning the Hilltop subdivision and
lots that contain a 5 would be shown in the result list. For example, 5, 5A, 15,
645, A5, 5U, 445566, etc.
