Wildcard *
Acts as a wildcard and will match any word or phrase.
Example:

"rib software"* , will look for results with the phrase rib software with any word or phrase after rib software
rib* software, will look for results with the word rib with any word or phrase after it OR the word software
| Warning |

There may be some keyword searches that will not return results. You cannot search for single letters or numbers with a Wildcard after it. eg 5* or 1* or Stage 5*. This will not return any results. To search for a phrase with a Wildcard you can use quotations, for example "Stage 5"* or "5"* |
