Wildcard signs are asterisk (*), question mark (?), plus sign (+), square brackets ( [] ) and dot (.)
If the word you search for contains one of these signs the word gives a search pattern to which the results have to match.

Description
*
It corresponds to 0 or more characters. You can use it anywhere within the word just as all the other wildcard signs.
E.g.:
abc*a
Finds e.g.: abca, abcea, abcdefga, …
Does not find e.g.: abcd, abcef, aba, abc, …lát*ó
Finds e.g.: látó, látható, …
Does not find e.g.: lát, látta, …?
It corresponds to 0 or 1 character.
E.g.:
abc?a
Finds e.g.: abca, abcda, abcea, …
Does not find e.g.: abcd, abcdea, …
lát?ó
Finds e.g.: látó, …
Does not find e.g.: lát, látható, …+
It corresponds to 1 or more characters
E.g.:
abc+a
Finds e.g.: abcda, abcea, abcdefa, …
Does not find e.g.: abca, abcd.lát+ó
Finds e.g.: látható, …
Does not find e.g.: lát, látó, …[]
It corresponds to a character place. Only the characters specified within the square brackets can be in that position.
E.g.:
abc[de]a
Finds e.g.: abcda, abcea, …
Does not find e.g.: abcdea, abcd, abcfa, …lát[o]m
Finds e.g.: látom, …
Does not find e.g.: lát, láttam, látám …$
Character sign indicating the end of the word.
E.g.:
abc$
It finds only the word 'abc' even if you search with the parameter setting “word initial”.
You can search for the wildcard signs as well but only if you separate them with a space from the other words of the expression.
E.g.:
Jesus ?
It searches for the verses where there is 'Jesus' and a '?', so it searches for the questions Jesus asked.
You can not search for comma (,), dot (.) and semicolon (;). The expression you search for can not contain these signs.
It is important to note that a space always separates the words or expressions from each other.
