Use of Special Characters in Search
My webMethods Server, which hosts the ActiveTransfer administration interface, allows you to use the following special characters in search strings.
Wildcard Search
Depending on whether you want a broad or narrow search results containing the search strings provided, you can either use an asterisk or question mark as wildcard characters.
**. The asterisk, along with other search characters, gives you all matches that include the search string characters.
Example: The search string *abc.txt gives these results:
kweihdabc.txt, abc.txt, 874abc.txt, 1abc.txt, aabc.txt, _abc.txt
*?. The question mark, along with other search string characters, gives you only those matches that include one character in place of the question mark and the other search string characters.
Example: The search string ?abc.txt gives these results:
1abc.txt, aabc.txt, _abc.txt
Exact Match Search
For exact keyword searches, place the search string within single quotation marks.
Example: The search string 'abc.txt' returns only abc.txt as the search result.
