Wildcard and Soundex (Phonetic) Searches in Kobo e-Reader
When reading both KEPUB and PDF files using the default reader on my Kobo Libra Colour, my understanding is that the built-in search function supports searches using wildcard characters (such as *) and phoenetic (SoundeX). But I can't get this work.

Can someone confirm? How do I those these searches? Kobo is obviously returning results that are not exact matches, so some approximations are being used in returning the search results.

Help!

I've never even heard of SoundeX. Where did you hear that Kobo supports this? The first result I get when searching the web for Kobo SoundeX is... this thread.

I've never read anywhere of a wildcard search on Kobo. I only found this thread when searching for Kobo wildcard search.
