I'll be a tester--but I don't quite understand what is meant by 0-N. I guess
I'll find out what the asterisk does by trying it.

Hi gang,
Engineering has put in a wild card feature into the search function. If you put
an asterisk in a search field, it will match 0-N characters. I put in "*guin"
into the search field, and all the books by Ursula Le Guin were displayed as
well as all books that had "penguin" in their titles. Very cool!
This feature is not fully implemented yet, Engineering is still working on it,
so the syntax may change in the future. They mentioned that they will need some
beta testers of this feature in about 2 weeks time. If you're interested in
helping out, please email me and I'll pass your name to the appropriate people.
Thanks! Carrie
