When a % symbol is typed into a search field, it acts as a wildcard value. If you are not entirely sure what you need to search or filter for, using the % symbol can return a wider range of results.

In the above example we typed %ri which returns clients that have a first name which has any combination of characters before the string ri and anything after. As you may notice that Apricot automatically looks for any combination of characters after of what you are typing so there is no need to put the wildcard (%) at the end.
