Wildcards

Wildcards allow you to substitute one or more letters in your search.

An asterisk (*) will search for none, one or more than one characters at the end of the search word. For example, a search for "Austral*" will search for articles that contain the word "Australia" as well as other words that start with the word "Austral", for example, Australia, Australian and Australasia.
