 %man  and  %man%  will both return Goodman, Hermandson,  and  Mansfield. 
 %Math  and  %Math%  will both return 100341 Elementary Math, Exploratory   Math Lab, Mathematics 1293.

 % at the end of a character string will return the same results as entering the string by itself:
Math% will return Math
12345% will return 12345

_
 underscore 

One character

 __  at the end of a character string will return strings with the equivalent number of characters at the end of the string:
X__ (two underscores) will return Xen, Xao
Ander__ (three underscores) will return Anderson, Andersen

___ before/between characters will return strings matching the criteria:
_L_e_ will return results that start with L and have e as the third character, like Lee, Luestrom

___ between two character strings will return the same results as a space:
Olson_Zierke and Olson Zierke return the same results

[ ]
 brackets around values 

A range of possible characters

[ ] around a character string will return strings containing any of the criteria specified within the brackets:

1[123] will return results starting with 11, 12 and 13 like 11053,12949801, 13
