For some searches wildcard characters are appended, pre-pended or both to some search criteria. For example, for a person search if a user enters "Smith" the appended search criteria is "Smith%" which returns all persons with the name Smith. Without appending the % wildcard the search would return only exact matches on Smith. The following table outlines searches in the application and whether wildcard are automatically appended.
