A multi-modal search system (and corresponding methodology) that employs wildcards is provided. Wildcards can be employed in the search query either initiated by the user or inferred by the system. These wildcards can represent uncertainty conveyed by a user in a multi-modal search query input. In examples, the words "something" or "whatchamacallit" can be used to convey uncertainty and partial knowledge about portions of the query and to dynamically trigger wildcard generation.
