Use the * symbol to search on partial matches - but only at the end of a word.
Ex: comp*
would return complete, computer, compliment.
Separate individual keywords with commas. Enclose literal strings in double quotes.


Or, you can use the new "like operator" symbol: %
This can be used at the beginning or end of the search string, such as %ow% would return Powerpoint, lawmower, cow, own, etc..
You will usually use the % at each end of the string. Or, within the string.
Such as %y%mate% would find "Try ClipMate", as well as "my roommate snores".

Both options are case insensitive (not sensitive to case).
