SYMPTOMS
Performing a query using multiple * characters return an error in ZyFIND: "Error 4100 Adjacent wildcards". When using exact phrase you receive the same error.
In the debug log
[0x00000920] DEBUG HapiToolkit - 0. SEMAIN.C line(179) error(5027:SEparserErr) errno(2)
[0x00000920] DEBUG HapiToolkit - Query:'*****' Offset:0
CAUSE
Adjacent wildcards are not supported. Adjacent '*' wildcards are meaningless, and thus are not allowed.
RESOLUTION
Perform a query using single wildcards.
* matches zero or more characters.
This wildcard is useful when you are not sure what you are looking for, but have a general idea. It expands a search term to include all forms of a root word, e.g., patent* retrieves patent, patents, patentable, patented, etc.
