--- Comment #14 from Esther Melander <estherm at sodaspringsid.com> ---
In regards to the wild card searches in the patron field, Should this be a
separate ticket?

Prior to our upgrade to 22.05, we could do searches like 2913*3456 and have it
return results. After the upgrade this no longer works.

The % wildcard appears to work in the search example above. However the % as a
wildcard is odd when compared with how other search indexes work. Most major
search engines use either an asterisk or a question mark. The same is true with
searching indexes at Ancestry or Family Search. The asterisk replaces multiple
characters and the question mark replaces a single character. Most of our staff
is accustomed to using an asterisk and trying to adapt to a different
nomenclature and keyboard position has proven difficult.
