    • To find only whole words matching the search phrase, choose Exact match.

  • Search for a term even if you know only a part of it: Use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard character in searches. You can see an example of it in the search bar text: apple, or appl* if you need a wildcard.

    • One asterisk like in "Ministry*Services" if you’re looking for “Ministry of Transport Services” or “Ministry of Financial Services”.
