Using the Wildcard Character "*" To Find Courses Beginning with or Containing Text String

One can search the online course offerings in a given semester for text strings in both the course prefix/number and in the course title.

If you place the wildcard character * at the start of search text, the search returns courses with the search text anywhere in the name. If you do NOT place the wildcard character at the start of the search text, the search only returns courses with the search text at the beginning of name.

Below are some examples.
