Searching using operators

Consider reviewing the Notes Help article:
"Refining a search query using operators"

The search term "aa" is not really a wild card in a Notes search. The term "aa*", "*" for any alphabetic character after "aa" is considered a wild card. But note it would only return any word that starts with "aa" so it would not return a result for "baab". If you searched for "*aa*" then you would get a result of "baab".

In your first example "AA-BB" is return because it is not case sensitive and it sees the return as two words.

In your second example you searched specifically for "aaxx" not "aaxxx" which Notes does not know that "aaxxx" is a variant of the search term. If you search for "aaxx*" then it should find that result.

For your third example you find "aaxxx00" (assuming zeros). In the help file it states:
"A wildcard that can represent any extension of letters. It does not work with dates or numbers." The would be interpreted as that numbers are not words so your word stopped at the last "x".
