Using Wild cards in Keywords
Entering “soy” as a keyword will return only headlines with the word “soy” in them. Use the following wildcards to expand the search:
Use a question mark to indicate any one character.
Examples:
“soy???” will return “soyoil” but not “soy” or “soybean”
“soy????” will return “soybean” but not “soy” or “soyoil”
Use an asterisk to indicate any number of characters, including none.
Example: “soy*” will return “soy”, “soyoil”, and “soybean”
Case-Sensitive Matches
If you enter keywords using all uppercase or all lowercase letters, all instances of the keyword will be returned, regardless of case.
If you mix uppercase and lowercase letters in a keyword (for example, Soy), the search will be case sensitive.
In this example, headlines with “Soy” in them would be returned but not those with “soy” or “SOY.”
