Wild Card Search *The * Star or Astrisk can be used to expand
your search or for unknown spelling• "micro*" finds documents that contain "Microsoft" or
"microchip"
• Use on last term. Don’t use * at the beginning of a search query *soft will NOT return Microsoft. KQL queries don’t support suffix matching.
• Combine with phrasing for powerful search
• Ex. “john de*” is better than John De*
Stemming & Wildcard is on by default in 2013, but not turned on in 2010.
Default Search sorted by Relevancy
If the product can’t be found, does the product exist? If the
feature can’t be found, does the feature exist?
34 percent of the sites don’t return useful results when users
search for a model number or misspell just a single character in
the product title.”
