    Re: assistance on partial match question with advanced filter

    To search for anything containing 'brome' you would put '*brome' as a criterion.
    A tilde '~' placed immediately before '*' means that the '*' is treated as an ordinary character rather than a wildcard, so a criterion of '~*brome' would match '*brome'

    To simplify, unless the data you are filtering contains '*' characters you probably don't need to get involved with '~'.
