Learn2 Search the Internet Effectively (continued)

Use the wildcard

What do you do if you want to search for everything concerning a certain topic? For example, you're researching horses, and you want horsepower, horseback, horsemanship, horseman, horsewoman, and maybe a few things you haven't even thought of yet.

Use the "*" symbol. To indicate missing letters, use the "*" symbol. For example, by typing horse*, the * will stand in for all the endings you can (and can't) imagine. This symbol also works effectively within a word, so you can simultaneously search for the words "woman" and "women" by entering the command "wom*n."
