Using Wildcards While Searching

The vBulletin bulletin board software does allow wildcard searches (at the vBulletin forums, I have used an asterisk (*) at the end of the word or phrase for which I am searching) but I have not tested it yet on FlyerTalk.

I have searched for the words Dorito and Dorito* on FlyerTalk (for some reason, FlyerTalk members have an unexplained penchant for Doritos), and Dorito* gave me more results from my search than Dorito, so I can confirm that one can use a wildcard (using an asterisk) whenever performing a search.
