Using a _ Symbol when searching for missing characters

The ‘_’ symbol allows you to search for missing characters from a word. For example if you type in ‘_moxil’ then the search will be for all items that have ‘moxil’ in their description.

  1. From the Stock Search Screen, type in a ‘_’ symbol into the description field. Type in the criteria afterwards that you would like to search for. Using the above example, we will search for descriptions that have ‘moxil’ in them (as shown in Figure 2.8.5).
  2. Figure 2.8.5

  3. Select ‘OK to begin the search
  4. The search results will display listing all products that contain the string ‘moxil’ in the description (as shown in Figure 2.8.6).

Note: This wildcard search can also be used in the Sales Module when searching for products.
