Some of the data sources and databases do not allow searches that contain certain non-alphanumeric characters. If you specify non-alphanumeric characters in a keyword and the data source or database does not support searching with those characters, rather than issuing an error and requesting you retype your keywords, My webMethods continues with the search. However, My webMethods will replace the non-supported character with a wildcard character that matches a single character. As a result, your search results might include additional entries that do not exactly match the search criteria you specified. |
