Hi you tech-savvy folk; Can anyone tell me how to do a Google search with an unknown letter/letters at the end (or beginning) e.g yell? when I want to end up finding "yellow"?

Found via google:

Many search engines let you substitute asterisks for single letters within search phrases, so you could search for "heat*" and find "heated," "heating," and "heats." Google does not support this. However, Google automatically does something very similar each time you search. Google uses stemming technology to find variations of each word in your search, so searching for "diet" automatically finds variations like "dietary" and "diets."

Thanks pooksahib - have seen this myself - but doesn't seem to work!

It's not Google, but this website is useful when you've only got some letters - substitute dots for the missing letters. Don't know if it helps! http://www.wordfun.ca/

Thanks Sal - will give it a go.
