Search using Zip/Postal Code

When search is performed using single a Zip / Postal Code as a filter criterion, search process will consider Zip / Postal Masks.

If a value is specified for Zip / Postal Code and one or more Countries have been selected, application will attempt to match designated Zip / Postal Codes to one of the Zip / Postal Code Masks for the selected countries. If a match is found, search will be performed after removing special characters for the mask (that is, spaces or dashes). If the Zip / Postal Code does not conform to any of the masks for the designated countries, search will be performed using the value as specified.

Wildcard is supported for Zip / Postal Code. However, when the wildcard character is used, no attempt will be made to match the designated Zip / Postal Code value to any of the applicable Zip / Postal Code Masks.

Note: Zip/Postal Codes are stored in the data base after removing special characters for masks (for example, spaces or dashes).

For example:

Assume locations are defined with the following Zip / Postal Codes:

The following table illustrates the locations that areidentified when using various search arguments (assumes no other filter criteria are in effect and also assumes the percentage sign "%" is the wildcard character):
