    Wildcard Search (TMS)

    Content is machine translated from English by Phrase Language AI.

    Different wildcards are supported for different search types:

    The symbol * is limited to five uses and ? to ten in any search.

    An asterisk represents zero or more characters in a search expression.

    Example:

    Searching for contract* will find not only contract but also contracts and contractual. The query *auto will find tautology, etc.

    A question mark may be used to represent a single character in a search expression.

    Example:

    Searching for ho?se will find both house and horse.

    Quotations will search for the exact phrase.

    Example:

    Searching for "small car" will not find small blue car.

    Searching without quotations for small car will return any segments containing the word small or the word car.
