Are wildcard searches possible with version 8.5 or version 9 api?

We have a need to be able to do wildcard searches against certain custom tables because of the way the values sometimes change. I see some very old posts here that say wildcard searches are not supported, but is that still the case? If not, is there some documentation explaining how to do it?

I was posting this question for a colleague and did not correctly understand his question at first. It seems he's aware that an asterisk can be used for something like a title search, but it doesn't appear to work when searching on custom attributes. Should wildcard searches be possible when searching on attributes?

Yes. For example, if you type Word* into the Document Type attribute when searching, it will return both Word and WordX document types. This is assuming you have not disabled wildcard searching on your server
