To use the asterisk for searching files on your computer, follow these steps:


                                       1  Open the File Explorer and type 'pro*' in the search box.
































                                    2   The  File  Explorer displays the files  and folders that
                                    contains the word ‘pro’.







                   3  To narrow the search
                   mention the type of file,
                   type ‘pro*.txt’.


















                 Searching for Files using a Question Marks (?)

                 Question mark replaces a single character or symbol. It represents only one character, so it

                 searches for single character. For example, when we type in?ia in the search box of File Explorer,
                 it will display only files or folders whose names have in as the first two characters and ia as the
                 last two characters. The ? (question mark) acts as a wildcard, representing any single character
                 in between.


                                                                         File Management—Organisation of Data    27
