About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about wildcard usage in Windows and Windows Server cover several technical issues. Topics include the inability to reuse wildcard TCP ports on multiple IP addresses in Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2, a bug where wildcards cause the Offline Files Service to crash in Slow-Link policy, and SUA utilities ending unexpectedly when used with wildcard characters. Users also discuss file search problems, noting that Windows Search may fail to find files using wildcards or partial names, while command-line tools like dir work correctly. Third-party search utilities are recommended for faster, more flexible wildcard searches.
