Hi everyone,
is there a wildcard that only represents a single character when performing a “simple search”? I'm asking, because those wildcards ‘*’ and ‘%’ represent a variety of characters.
Regards
Marcel

Try the "_" character. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174424.aspx

Marcel,
Sorry, I tried the "_" and it does not work in the simple search. You could use the [character list] technique instead.
For example [0-Z], should match an single alphabetic/numeric character.
So [0-Z][0-Z]omp% will search for any first two alpha/numeric characters, followed by "omp", followed by any string.
But a restriction in this technique is that you have to include a % or * wildcard somewhere in the search or it will not work.

Thank you, Terry, that should work for the beginning
