Searching of files using question mark(?)
Question mark replaces a single character or symbol. It represents only one character, so it
searches for only one character. For example, when we type "C?M" in the search box of the File
Explorer, it will display only files or folders with names that have three characters, where the first
and third characters are C and M. The question mark can also be used as a wildcard more than
once, depending on the name of the file you are searching for.
