For example, a search for f*s not only finds fads and fits but also all text strings that begin with f and end with s, such as for the birds. Wildcard searches can yield many, many results and are sometimes useless. Now, before you go wild and start dropping fields into the various drop zones, you should ask yourself two questions: “What am I measuring?” and “How do I want to see it?” The answers to these questions give you some guidance when determining which fields go where.
