info

FixIt! allows you to use wildcard characters ‘*’ and ‘?’ in searches. The asterisk ‘*’ stands for any number of characters, including zero, and the question mark ‘?’ stands for any single character.

The files* search query will return files with such names as files, files111, files systems, files_more_worlds, etc.

The files? query will return files with such names as files1, filess, files_, but not files .
