Signals Notebook: Improve your search results with the use of wildcards

Sometimes we want to perform a search, but we only remember a fraction of the name of the object we want to find. Is there a way to use wildcards in Signals Notebook?

Solution: Yes, it is possible to use wildcards on signals notebook.

To use a wildcard in Signals Notebook, you must enter the initial fraction of the object name you remember, followed by a *. For example, if you want to search for the object "exp010203", in the search engine, you can type "exp010*" and you will get as result all the objects that match with initial text "exp010".

Note: This wildcard will only function as a suffix, a Leading Wildcard is a limitation of elastic search (which SNB uses). Therefore, in Signals Notebook you cannot use a wildcard as a prefix.
