The most common form of wildcard search is where you place a * at the end of the phrase you are searching.
For example, searching for “cam” may return results such as “Cam Road” but it will not return “Camden Road”. Searching for “cam*” will return results that start with “cam”. For example “Camden Road” and “Cambridge Road” would be returned if they were present in the dataset being searched.
A single character wildcard can be used where you are unsure of the spelling. For example searching for “jo?ner” would return both “joiner” and “joyner”.
A wildcard is only supported if it is in the middle or end of a phrase. For example you cannot search “*way”. Searching in this way will return no results.
