In FileMaker Pro, when you're searching for data, you don't always have to specify exact search criteria.…For example, in the Exercise 12_03, if I want to find all the invoices…that were created between the years 2000 and 2010, I would enter Find mode, and here we…have an Invoice Date.

So I could do 2000, 2001,…and you could see here it saw that there were the four characters, so now it does what's…called these wildcards. So it puts an */*. So it says any month, any day of the year 2000.…
So, I've got a new one. I could keep doing this doing 2000, all the way up to 2010, and…of course, it would find all those matching records for me. But a much easier way to do…it is to use what's called a Search Operator. So I can type in 2000 and here we see this…dropdown with all these operators in them.
