 Description   

Current situation or problem:

Currently depending on what App either % or * or even $ is the wildcard to use. Users have to have a post-it note to remember which one for which App.

User story statement(s):

As a FOLIO user I want all apps to use the same wildcards.

Proposed solution/stories

The following wildcards should be used across all FOLIO apps:

  • * which matches 0, 1 or many characters 
  • ? which matches a single character

The above wildcards should be usable within strings.

Use cases

  1. Use case:
    • Given the two records "abc" and "abcd" exist
    • As a user I am searching for record title: a?c
    • Expected result: both records are found
  2. Use case:
    • Given the two records ""abc" and "abcd" exist
    • As a user I am searching for record title: a*d
    • Expected result: "abcd" is found, but "abc" is not found
