Keyword searching with internal truncation in WebPAC

[Aline Soules <asoules at csuhayward dot edu>]

Searching wom*n in the WebPAC will retrieve hits for woman and women, 
while searching m*n does not retrieve any hits (man or men). We suspect 
that there needs to be at least 2 character before the * , e.g., as in 
sc*re, but we'd like to confirm that others are experiencing the same 
results (the manual does not seem to address this, or else we missed 
it).  If our assumption is correct, how do you search for the keywords 
man or men?  Is using the keyword "man" OR "men" the only way?
