I've never seen anything indicating wildcards are support for
Outlook-related searching, but it appears they are, in some limited way.
I'm trying to create an email rule to automaticaly file inbound messages
that have "**ALERT**" in the subject line. The rules seem to ignore them.
If I do a WDS search, it does too, if I include the leading "**" in the
search string.
If I just search for "ALERT**", it finds any messages that have "alert" in
the subject line. "ALERT*P" finds any with "ALERTS" followed by text and a
"P". So, clearly, it's using wildcards. Where is that documented?
Secondly, how do I turn it off? What if I want to search for a literal
asterisk? I tried to escape it with a preceeding "^", but that didn't
work.
Third, just to mention it, I don't seem to be able to pursuade WDS to
search server-based folders from my PC. Ir won't let me select them to be
indexed. Do I need to install WDS on the server itself? Nothing suggests
that.
