    I knew they'd freed up the "starts with.." options and such like, but it's good to know that the wildcard search itself is available.

          Whilst I'm very pleased for the rest of you, all the wild card facilities in the world are of no help to me!

            Well all it tells me is that I can only use one wildcard character in a surname! What is the point in that? Lol!

              I thought that the wildcard search was eventually going to allow more than one wildcard - and possibly a wildcard start!

                It's certainly confusing and does say that a wildcard can be used at the beginning of a word.

                When I tried, it told me that it could not be used as the first character

                still it's early days so maybe it will be sorted out soon

                  You're better than me. I would not be so patient if the county I really wanted was not released by now.
