A request often made by the customer…Can I also search with wildcards in a SharePoint list?
Answer: With moss yes WSS No…!?
But it does, albeit with a somewhat surprising path.
How to:
Create a new Web Part Page and insert a Content Editor Web Part and the desired ListView Web Part there. The Content Editor Web Part fills you with the desired search mask. When submitting the search, it makes a JavaScript call that reloads the Web Part Page and depends on the URL following querystring:
? Filter name = Zussuchendesfeld & Filtering multivalue = * Value search box *
Example:
We want to search the field “name” (file name of a document library à “name” has the InternalName FileLeafRef) then we only need to append the following to the URL of our page:
? Filter name = FILELEAFREF & Filtering multivalue = *
Result:
Returns all documents that carry in the Name
Hope it saves you some time.
