Use the truncation character, *, to find articles containing several words with the same root. The * replaces zero or more characters at the end of a word.  Example: Type educat* to find educator, educated, and education.

The wildcard character is ?  .

Use the wildcard character, ?, in place of a single character in your search terms, when more than one letter is likely to fit that space.

Example: Type educat?? to find articles containing educator and educated. This Search will not find education.

Unlike truncation characters, you can use wildcard characters in the middle of words.

Example: Type wom?n to find articles containing the words woman, women, and womyn.
