User Guide

Wildcard-powered search can be conducted on list view and related field filters. For example, when searching for accounts, if the user types de in the search field, the SugarCRM search will return three records:

Standard Search 

 

Adding a wildcard character (%) in the quick search and another term in the filter definition will refine the search even more:

Wildcard Search #1

 

If the user has typed de%inc in the search field, SugarCRM would return two records, finding partial expression “de” in “Slender” and in “Underwater”. Also, both accounts have the partial expression “inc” in their names (Accounts search #3).

 

Wildcard Search #2
