According to the help, ? and * can be used as wildcards.
This does not seem to function for me.

Restore standard screen layout Oct 21, 2019

I do not use Across very often, but I find that pressing an incorrect key sometimes causes the screen layout to change. In my case, I have lost the Search window. How can I restore the standard layout?

There are different search functions within Across: crossSearch, Term search, Fuzzy search, Search and Replace in source/target files... Which one is your problem? How do you use wildcards and what do you expect? What exactly does not function for you?

After your second post mentioning the 'Use wildcards' checkbox, I employed all my deductive reasoning and presume that you mean the 'Search and Replace' by files. Next question: source or target?

What regards the layout, press the Restore UI layout button (a square button divided into two halves: white top and mustard-green bottom).
Alternatively, press View > Windows > Search Center (a pane at the bottom)
or View > Toolbars > Search (a Toolbar icon)
depending on which Search you want to restore.
