Didn't mean to interrupt but F2thaK is right. The star (*) means already the symbols next to the word you are looking. I use it when I want to program a serch bar, normally for finding people in a data base, and if I press only the letter "J" it will gonna bring me "Jorge", "Jessika", "Jacinto".. and all words that start with "J", and to do that I call the command is: name* where name is a string that store only the letter I have press on the keyboard. Nothing less. It don't take away the last letter. But that didn't matter because karam already changed it
