Use wildcards (?,*) in find string

Select this to include the wildcards ? and/or * in your search.

A ? matches any single character. For example, the following configuration finds all account numbers starting with any first digit and ending in 0124 (00124, 10124, 20124 and so on) and replaces each of them with X0124.

A * matches any character sequence. For example, the following configuration finds all account numbers starting with 'Account', a character sequence, and '00' (Account JB 00, Account FGR 00, Account AIK01 00, and so on), and replaces each of them with 'Account Reference 00'.
