Wildcard searches

Last published : Apr 17, 2026
A wildcard search uses a wildcard character at the end of a search term to represent one or more unspecified characters. The question mark ?represents a single character, and the asterisk* represents one or more characters.
For example:
  • appl? finds archived messages with search terms such as appleorapply.
  • comp* finds archived messages with search terms such as computing,computer, orcompany.
    Note: The wildcard character must be placed at the end of the search term. The search term must contain at least three characters before the wildcard character.
In phrase searches, the *and? characters are treated as special characters, not wildcards.
