 Search words used in Finder can contain [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html Java specific regular expression characters] such as dot. Finder doesn't restrict search word lenght. As an extreme example you could start search with a single dot and the search would result every topic in Wandora. Viewing very large result sets is time consuming and may cause OutOfMemoryExceptions in Wandora. This is especially true when you are accessing [[Database topic map|database topic maps]].

 ===String similarity===
-'''String similarity''' tab is used to perform similarity searches to the topic map. String similarity allows Wandora user to search topics with strings that only resemble matched string. Wandora uses Sam Chapman's [http://sourceforge.net/projects/simmetrics/ SimMetrics] open source library to calculate string similarities. Below is a screen capture of Wandora's '''String similarity''' tab.
