Hi, guys...one of our product recently added the functionality of
doing wildcard searching via an asterisk. Nothing fancy, enter * in
place of any string that may be part of a larger string i.e., New
Yor* would result in New York, New York City, New York State, New
Yorkie, New Yorkshire Pudding, etc.

Now...with an audience of average PC literate corporate America, is
it enough to explain that the functionality now exists with a simple
sentence or two explanation or could there be those out there that
don't understand this functionality and need a full explanation along
with examples?

Note...* is the only form we support...no ? for single characters or
anything more complex.
