A wild card means that you can use a symbol to take care of a wide variety of variables. For example, * could mean "all" in the form of "Find ALL files" ? could mean 'any letter' in the form of "Find B?B", where it'd find files named BaB, BbB BcB BdB BeB BfB and so on. # could mean 'any number', so a search would find "12" or "5" or "566432".
