Percent symbol (%)

Any string of zero or more characters.

For example, if you know a client’s last name begins with a “Ge,” enter “Ge%” in the Last Name field and click Search. All of the clients/customers whose last names begin with “Ge” are returned.

Underscore (_)

Any single character.

For example, entering “Sm_th” would return both Smith and Smyth, but not Smooth. The underscore is especially helpful when searching for batches.

Brackets ([ ])

Any single character within the specified range “[a-f]” or set “[abcdef]”.

For example, entering “[CK]ars[eo]n” would return Carson, Carsen, or Karson.

Brackets with caret ([^])

Any single character not within the specified range “[^a-f]” or set “[^abcdef]”.

For example, entering “De[^l]%” would return strings beginning with “De”, but not “Del”.
