## Using wildcards

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.

#### examples

To find words starting with 'lyso'
  Enter the query '`lyso*`
To find both 'lysosyme' and 'lysozyme'
  Enter the query '`lyso?yme`'
To find words that end with the word 'inhibitor'
  Enter the query '`*inhibitor`' (Please note that this is a bad example, it is a very time consuming query, likely to time out)
