Actually you must know the exact search string if you want to search via free text search (example for doojects: -> Piratenpartei <- delivers you a list of doojects). But only -> Piraten <- gives you no hits. Tried Piraten* as a wild card, but not working as well, nor *piraten*. Another problem e.g. is if the name of a donor or a town is close to special characters (),; etc. (example: Düsseldorf, ). You will only get results when searching for -> Düsseldorf, <-, here -> *düsseldorf* <- would help :)

Is there an option to allow wild cards?

PS:
It was interesting to see that yourself had during the Hang out session last Saturday the same problems as other users reported :) If you search via doojects -> view -> only the ID is allowed as search, not free text (which you tried). But in Explore -> doojects free text search is allowed, but not Labdoo-ID. For a non experienced user it is difficult to understand the various approaches. That is why I asked in another task to merge all these various way to access the data-base. Thanks.

Done. Please see the new "Free-Text Search" box that you will find in each of the four dashboards. For instance, check out the dooject dashboard search box: https://www.labdoo.org/content/doojects-dashboard

The new search supports both wildcards and field-specific queries. For instance, if you want to search only for labdoo id, use: id:000000001. There are a whole bunch of query prefixes that you can use to enhance your search. This is all explained in the "Search help" link that you will find in each of the dashboards.

Ralf just a quick historical note... the dooject dashboard used to support wildcard searches, but there was a "task request" if you remember asking to implement 'Dooject ID" only searches to avoid noisy queries. This was implemented in this task: https://www.labdoo.org/content/dooject-add-labdoo-id-search-entry

That's the reason before this new task we could only search Labdoo IDs.

With this new task, i think now we have the best of both worlds, you can still do wildcard searches and also field specific searches by using prefixes like id, srccountry, etc.
