I read from splunk docs that we should avoid using wildcards `*` in the middle of a string. Now, does this apply to `%` wildcard used in `like()` too ? Ex: like(some_field ,"abc%def") From my testing it seems , `%` is able to match punctuations too unlike `*`.
I believe that caution pertains to the search command itself rather than the like function. Consider submitting feedback on that documentation page asking the Docs team to clarify.
