Best Answer

It is a query that uses the wildcard characters * or ? to help represent characters. Wildcards are used as ways to represent things in many aspects of computers when you are searching for things. The * can stand for any amount of characters and the ? stands for one character. So if you wanted to list all the people whose names began with the letter C, your criteria could be C* and then only names starting with C would be shown. If you wanted to show people whose names had 4 letters you could have ???? in as the criteria.
