Wild cards
The wild card "%" can be used to represent any character appearing any positive number of times. ie a search for "%ber" will find "canber". The wild card "_" can be used to represent any character appearing exactly once. ie a search for "_anberra" will find "canberra" but a search for "_nberra" will not find "canberra"
