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.
