wildcard search

[Jenna16]

hi,

I am wondering why wildcard searching does not work in our dashboard for filtering. I saw some old posts of a similar nature that suggested that we need to change the code to allow it. Is that right? I just want to look for xxxx in the middle of a bunch of text and *xxxx* does not work. However if xxxx is the first 4 characters of a long thread I don't even need the * at all. Is there a way to search differently or do we need to change all the code on our whole large dashboard?

thanks

Try this 

=wildmatch(FieldName, '*xxxx*')

[Or]

For regular search (within a search box), *xxxx* should work.

I recommend this resource for understanding search options:
