Finding shipmaster names with wildcards

String ‘P*’: look for first name starting with ‘P’.
String ‘P* S*’: look for first name starting with ‘P’, patronym or surname starting with ‘S’.
String ‘* S* B*’: look for patronym (or first part of double surname) starting with ‘S’, surname with ‘B’.
String ‘*p * *son’: first name ending on P, with or without patronym, surname ending on ‘son’.
String ‘_la*’: first name starting with one (1) unknown letter, followed by ‘la’ etc.
Always close first part of search string with an ‘*’, to find names with or without ‘patronym/insertion’.
Shipmaster-full name-field can be used in combination with other fields.
N.B. ‘*’ represents zero, one or more characters, ‘_’ represents exactly one (1) character.
