# Fields whose Value Matches Wildcard Strings

## WILD

The `WILD` field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents in which a specified field contains a string that matches a specified Wildcard string.

If the query does not contain any Wildcard characters (? or *), the `WILD` field specifier acts in the same way as the `MATCH` field specifier.

    FieldText=WILD{yourStrings}:yourFields

where:

`yourStrings` | is one or more strings that contain Wildcards. A document returns only if one of `yourFields` matches one of these strings. FieldText queries which include commas and braces within the query have specific percent-encoding requirements. For information about percent-encoding, see FieldText.
`yourFields` | is one or more fields. A document returns only if it contains one of these fields, and if this field contains one of `yourStrings`. If you want to specify multiple fields, separate them with colons (there must be no space before or after a colon).

Examples:

    FieldText=WILD{*.html,*.htm}:URL

The `URL` field value must end with .html or .htm for this document to return as a result.

    FieldText=WILD{passi*incarnata}:Climbers:Plants

The `Climbers` or `Plants` field value must contain a phrase that begins with passi and ends with incarnata (for example, passionflower incarnata or passiflora incarnata) for this document to return as a result.

    FieldText=WILD{*www.example.com*.txt}:PATH

The `PATH` field value must contain a path that contains www.example.com and ends with .txt (for example, http://www.example.com/files/doc.txt) for the document to return as a result.

    FieldText=WILD{wom?n }:Clothes

The `Clothes` field value must contain a word that matches the specified Wildcard string (for example, woman or women) for this document to return as a result.
