<h2>Using wildcards</h2>
<p>With MRS you can use wildcards to broaden your search. If you append
an asterisk (*) to a word MRS will search all records containing words that start
with these letters. You can use a question mark (?) as a placeholder for any
character.</p>
<h4>examples</h4>
<dl>
<dt>To find words starting with 'lyso'</dt>
<dd>Enter the query '<code>lyso*</code></dd>
<dt>To find both 'lysosyme' and 'lysozyme'</dt>
<dd>Enter the query '<code>lyso?yme</code>'</dd>
<dt>To find words that end with the word 'inhibitor'</dt>
<dd>Enter the query '<code>*inhibitor</code>'
(Please note that this is a bad example, it is a very time consuming
query, likely to time out)</dd>
