Allow "?" in search

Allow "?" in search

Hello,

especially in reports would be very useful to allow search where symbol "?" replaces 1 character.

Now it is difficult to report for example only all items with "4" on fourth place.

Would like to put request ???4 to filter only items like this 0504-123.

Now report supports using *4 but can get result like 0500-654 which is correct but not with "4" on specific (fourth) place I need...

We have found out there only one solution is to use "_" represents 1 character so in this case would have to put ___4 to get desired result. For many users it is hard to remember because used to for "?" from Windows.

Regular Windchill Searching uses ? for single character wildcard - Windchill Search Wildcards. Seems odd to switch to _ for reports.

WCH itself yes, but WCH reports dont. Report doesnt support ? so must use _ to get the same result.

That is why asking to add ? support in reports...
