Finding Variations of a Word

Often there are variations of your search terms that you would like to retrieve. For example, searching the word child will not find the word children, although this term might be relevant to your search. To make your search more effective, use these options.

Wildcard - Question mark (?)

Use a question mark (?) to replace one letter at the end of a search term (i.e. Watche? will find Watches, Watched, Watcher). 

Wildcard - Asterisk (*)

Use an asterisk (*) to replace more than one letter at the end of a search term (i.e. Wat* will find Water, Waters, Watches, Watched, Watts)
