2. Click this button besides the Look in box of the Find and Add Files window, to select the

4. Type all or part of the file name in the Search for box to search that file in the selected

A wildcard character is a keyboard character such as an asterisk (*) or a question mark
(?) that you can use to represent one or more real characters when you are searching
for files or folders. Wildcard characters are often used in place of one or more
characters when you don't know what the real character is or you don't want to type the
entire name.
Asterisk (*)
You can use the asterisk as a substitute for zero or more characters. If you're looking for
a file that you know starts with gloss but you can't remember the rest of the file name,
type the following:
gloss*
The Find and Add window will locate all files of any file type that begin with the word
gloss including Glossary.txt, Glossary.doc, and Glossy.doc.
To narrow the search to a specific type of file, type:
gloss*.doc
In this case, the Find and Add window will find all files that begin with gloss but have the
file extension .doc, such as Glossary.doc and Glossy.doc.
Question Mark (?)
You can use the question mark as a substitute for a single character in a name. For
example, if you typed gloss?.doc, the Find and Add window would locate the file Glossy.
doc or Gloss1.doc but not Glossary.doc.
