Additional Information
In Portal for ArcGIS 10.5.1, searches use stemming to reduce words to their root form. Stemming attempts to remove the differences between inflected forms of a word, in order to reduce each word to its root form. For instance foxes may be reduced to the root fox. To remove the difference between singular and plural in the same way that the difference between lowercase and uppercase is removed. Application is stemmed and stored as ‘applic’. This means that a search for application, applications, applic finds the same term. However, wildcards do not work properly in all cases especially if the wildcard is in the part that is removed by stemming. So a search for applica* does not work because there is no such term stored in the index. The system is designed for searches using full words rather than wildcards.Steps to Reproduce
