The above post indicates just how bad things are!
I can't even believe those companies who produce census records on CD.

... Could I adopt the same approach in FreeBMD ?



Yes, FreeBMD does allow wildcard characters in their search.
See: http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/search-help.shtml

Using a wildcard does slow FreeBMD's search down quite significantly and it will often return a 'too busy' message, especially now because they are having a problem with one of their servers.
