Searching the Data Source 53
ID Works Standard and Enterprise Version 5 Operator’s Guide
Quick Search dialog box returns 2 records—all the records of people
in the database whose last names start with R.
This search uses the % (percent) wildcard character. It stands for any
number of characters after the R. You can also use the _
(underscore) wildcard character to substitute for a single character.
For example, entering Jo_n would find John and Joan but not
Johann.
Enterprise
Edition Only!
Only one wildcard character works when searching ID Works
Enterprise projects connected to a directory service. The asterisk (*)
represents zero or more characters at that position in the string of
characters you typed.
Wildcard characters do not work in date fields or in fields attached to
number fields in the database. You must enter exact values in these
types of fields.
If your database is case sensitive, your searches will be, too. You
must use capital letters as appropriate.
If you enter data into more than one search field, the database
system looks for records that match all fields.
