button. The ? and * wildcard characters, as well as the [ and ] set delimiters, are supported by NetVisualize search function and are defined and used as follows.
* (match any 0 or more characters)
Use * to complete terms with multiple potential endings. For example, to search for any term that begins with "train", type "train*" in the search field. Results would return links containing "train", "trainer", "trainee", and so forth. The * wildcard character may also be used in the middle or beginning of search terms.
? (match any one character)
Use the ? wildcard character to substitute for any one character in a search term. For example "be?n" typed in the search field would return matches for links containing "bean", "been", and so forth.
[ and ] (match a set of specific characters)
Use brackets to specify a set of characters to match against. The full set of characters to match can be enumerated between the brackets, or a range can be specified. For example, the search term "[bcr]at" would match "bat", "cat", or "rat", but not "hat". The search term "[a-k]at" would match "bat", "cat", or "hat", but not "rat". The search term "[abcd]" is equivalent to "[a-d]".
