Wildcards are supported in terms, phrases, and exact phrases using * to match zero, one, or more characters and ? to match a single character.
The * wildcard character can appear on its own and implies Google-style. The “anywhere after” wildcard pattern can be combined with the = prefix for identifier based pattern matching. Search will return and highlight any word that begins with the root of the word truncated by the * wildcard character.
All of the following will find the term apple.
TEXT:app?e TEXT:app* TEXT:*pple appl? *ple =*ple "ap*le" "***le" "?????"
Note: Exact Term searching, using the equals operator (=*ple
in the samples above), is only allowed if the default Alfresco Repository
configuration has been changed in order to enable this feature.
When performing a search that includes a wildcard character, it is best to wrap your search term in double quotation marks. This ensures all metadata and content are searched.
