Wildcards can be used to search for things within text for certain functions. Like in other areas of computing you can use the ? to stand for a single character or the * to stand for multiple characters. If you had a list of words and wanted to count all the ones that had the letter H in them, you could do this:

=COUNTIF(K2:K50,"*h*")

If you wanted to count all three letter words with the middle letter being o, you could do this:

=COUNTIF(K2:K50,"?o?")

Wildcards only work with some functions like Search, Find, Countif etc. which are comma separated functions doing checks for values.
