Truncation Truncation can be used when you want PubMed to find all terms that begin with a given text string. Truncation is represented by the asterisk (*), sometimes referred to as a "wildcard." For example, let's say you are trying to search all terms that have the root, mimic. If you search mimic* PubMed will retrieve words such as mimic, mimics, mimicing, etc. PubMed has no single character truncation symbol. [Show Me] Truncation Tips:
