Matching words
Matching words is not case-sensitive: cat, Cat, cAt,andCAT all match. Corresponding uppercase and
lowercase letters, such as A and a, are treated the sam e in all respects.
There are two kinds of query words: words tha t contain occurrences of one or both of the wildcard
characters * and ?, and literal words that do not contain wildcards.
• Literal words that do not contain wildcards
• Words containing occurrences of one or both wildcard characters * and ?
A literal word in a query expression matches the same word, character for character (case ignored) , in
an archived document. A word with wildcard characters (* or ?) matches a d ocument word in the same
way, character by character, except for the following:
• A ? matches any single character in a document word. For example, b??t matches beat, beet,
boat, blot, best, bust, bout,andsoon.
• An * matches any sequence of characters in a document word, including a sequence of no
characters. For example, f*t matches the document words foot, feet, fi t, fault,andft;andf*
matches any document word beginning with f.
You can use any number of wildcard characters (* or ?) in a query word, but you cannot use a wildcard
at the be ginning of a query word. An error message results. For example, *ion is not a valid query.
