Basic

The Basic method supports two wildcard characters, ? and *. The ? character matches any single character, and * matches any string of characters. The given pattern must match at word boundaries in the associated data field. So, for example, the pattern 'wood' will match a surname of "Wood", but not "Atwood" or "Woodbury". The pattern wood* will match "Wood" or "Woodbury", but not "Atwood". The pattern *wood* will match "Atwood", "Wood", and "Woodbury".

Regular Expressions

Regular Expressions are powerful text matching facilities that use a set of special characters to describe matching rules. By default, text fields on the search form are contains filters, so a search for 'wood' will match "Atwood", "Wood", "Woodbury", and more. You can make more restrictive filters by using pattern matching characters. ^ matches the beginning of the field, so to specify that a surname value must begin with "wood", enter ^wood. $ matches the end of the field, so to specify that a surname value must end with "wood", enter wood$.

You can use other pattern matching characters in the name fields.

A period ( . ) matches any character, so a search for 'mill.t' matches "Millet" and "Millit".

A plus sign (+) indicates that the character in front of the + may occur one or more times, so 'mil+et' matches "Milet" and "Millet".

An asterisk ( * ) indicates that the last character may occur zero or more times, so millet* matches "Millet" and "Millett".

Brackets indicate alternative characters, so mille[nr] matches "Millen" and "Miller".

Parentheses indicate alternate terms, so (bill|william) matches "Bill" and "William".
