Capturing more with truncation
Truncation, using an *, allows us to capture multiple word forms with a single term, for example obese and obesity. A search for obes* finds all words that begin with obes.
So, a search for obes* will return results for both obese and obesity.
Truncations can also be used within a word. A search for wom*n will look for words that begin with wom and end in n. A search from wom*n will thus return results for woman and women.
