Use an asterisk (*) - Boolean Search

Use an asterisk (*) as a placeholder for any unknown or “wildcard” terms. Results will vary depending on its use, how Google has indexed the content of the page or what Google feels is relevant.


[ “senior * Programmer” ] will include results for [ senior software programmer ]

[ “senior * * Programmer” ] will include results for [ senior software technical programmer ]

Tip: It’s important to know that an asterisk (*) can include results providing a single term, special character OR phrase and you should experiment with it until you get the desired results.
