# WildcardQuery Class

Implements the wildcard search query. Supported wildcards are `*`, which matches any character sequence (including the empty one), and `?`, which matches any single character. Note this query can be slow, as it needs to iterate over all terms. In order to prevent extremely slow WildcardQueries, a Wildcard term must not start with one of the wildcards `*` or `?`.

For a list of all members of this type, see WildcardQuery Members.
