+13I'm trying to build an Advanced Computer Search so I can save it and delegate some work.
Long story short, I can't get wildcards to work with Advanced Computer Searches at all.
If I use an asterisk for Application Title, I get nothing at all. However if I use a wildcard (asterisk) for simple searches it works. It's the Advanced Computer Searches that aren't working with wildcards.
This returns every app, as expected.
This returns nothing.
Am I out of luck? I even tried to RTFM! ;-)

Instead of wildcards, use "like" and "has" queries. Pretty sure Advanced Computer Searches will just see an asterisk as a literal character.
A "like" or "has" query will have implicit wildcards. When I do a similar Advanced Computer Search for Application Title and leave the criteria blank, it returns all computers the way you'd expect a wildcard to.
These are two very different searches. The first search returns apps, the second search returns computers.
