When should I use wildcards in search queries?

What are wildcards and when should I use them in my searches?

Wildcards are special characters used in search queries to represent one or more unknown characters. You should use them when you're unsure of the exact term you're looking for.

Can you give me an example of how to use wildcards?

Sure! If you're searching for 'cat*', it will return results for 'cat', 'cats', 'catnip', etc.

Are there any specific search engines that support wildcards?

Yes, many search engines like Google and databases like SQL support wildcards, but the syntax may vary.

Is there a limit to how many wildcards I can use in a single query?

Typically, there's no strict limit, but using too many can make your search less effective and harder to interpret.
