The “Wildcard Policy” determines the mode in which Surgimap searches for data from PACS:
- No Wildcard: Whatever information you put in your search bar in the import screen, must match exactly to the information in your PACs system. Ex: Search term “John Doe”. Search results “John Doe”, NOT “Doe, John” or “JDoe”.
- Trailing: The information searched will be tagged in the front of any of the search results. Ex: Search “John”, search results “John”, “John Doe”, “JohnD”, NOT “DJohn” or “Doe, John”.
- Leading & Trailing: The information search will be tagged in the front and back of any search results. Ex: Search “John”, search results “John Doe”, “JohnD”, “DJohn”, “Doe, John”, “DoeJohn”, etc…
You can change this setting by going to Settings, clicking on the ‘DICOM Nodes’ tab and scrolling down to “Advanced Settings”. Change your Wildcard policy to “Leading and trailing” for a more comprehensive search output.
