Dogie, can you clarify what you meant by using *.?
I think he meant searching like so:
the dot at the end was used to denote the end of a sentence.
Thanks, got it. FWIW, that doesn't actually seem to work. If I search "ted*", I see, inter alia, "unsolicited" (ted at the end of the string), "tedstein" (ted at the beginning of the string) and "twistedtime09" (ted in the middle of the string). It would be nice to be able to constrain the search, I think.
