# Search Trading Partner

Enter the **Search** pattern to filter the list so that only those **Trading Partners** whose name matches the pattern are displayed.

The **Search** pattern can include the following wildcard characters:

* Use the percent sign ( % ) to represent any number of characters, including none.
* Use the underscore ( \_ ) to represent exactly one character.

A percent sign ( % ) wildcard character is automatically inserted at the beginning and end of the pattern you specify in the **Search** field box. For instance, entering **X** in the **Search** box is equivalent to entering %X% and will find any **Trading Partner** whose name contains the letter **X**. This search pattern entry is not case sensitive.

In this example, the letter **C** has been entered into the **Search** box. The two entries that contain the letter “*C*” are listed.

These illustrate and confirm that the **Search** box is not case sensitive.

To see all entries, the box **Search** box should be blank.
