wildcard searches
I am looking for items that contain the string "*".
So I use advanced search: (Item) "matches wildcard"[*] but eventhough there are items containing * and **, none show up. What am I doing wrong? |
Try the search against the (Item Text) attribute and this change.
(Item Text) "matches wildcard" *[*] |
not *[*] nor [*]* nor *[*]* works
thanks for the reply. I tried all these different ways. Nothing.
Even [?] which should find a single question mark in items and their attributes returns the empty search set. |

uhmm...
I created two text Items, each of which contains the following text string in the Detail Pane of the Item: This file contains * and This file contains ** both Items were returned in the Search Results, see screen shot: |
YES -> ItemText
Thanks Ashwken!
They key is to pick the ItemText field. If you pick (Item) it wont do it. |
To search for items whose text contains a *, use
Item Text matches wildcard *[*]* Note that Item Text, not (Item), must be specified to perform an extended phrase search (since * is not a keyworded symbol). http://www.kinook.com/UR/Manual/phrasesearch.htm [*] will only match on text exactly equal to * *[*] will only match on text ending with * http://www.kinook.com/UR/Manual/matcheswildcard.htm |
Kinook,
