Hey everybody, Iv again been fideling with dolibarr and have been stumped by a feature im looking for. I have activated multiple term searching in the main product overview, however i have now layed my eyes upon the product selection box on the Offer/Order page which does a full match search, there does not seem to be any wildcards which i can use. I have taken a look at the code and this is not an easy php edit as it seems that JS Select2 is used to handle the box. Does anyone have an idea how I can implement wild card searches in these lists as having to exactly match a products name is a pain in the a\*\* every time an offer is written, even worse if you have a lot of positions. Any help would be appreciated 🙂 ---

Hey did you try with “ **%** ” as wildcard, in product combobox, this can be udes for selecting within ref or label products for example : “ **quad%band%wifi** ” can be used for selecting all products with labels containing these 3 words… In Dolibarr’s lists, you can also use the “ **^** ” at the beginning or at the end of your filter text, this is useful for filtering for every name, label or text … Good continuation ---

I have the same problem here (See images) … I can start search a product “Franke” and then I need to further dig into the product details (eg. Franke\* Flugloch). But no wildcard deleminiter is working ("%" or “\*” or “^”). As soon as I enter a wildcard deleminiter the search goes “blank” and tells me “no product found”. Am I missing something (user fault) 🙂 Thanks for your help.

Hello “ **franke%flug** ” might give the results, may be it depends of your dolibarr’s version on [online demo](https://demo.dolibarr.org/commande/card.php?id=3613), you can test this : ![image](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/2/2067774fcab356056af1c1711600719b1e198467.png) Good continuation ---

Can you try this : → activate system logs : you will find the resulted queries for your searches → deactivate all additional modules, or special themes Good continuation ---
