hello,
I am newbie to this whole thing and am working on doing some data scraping. In particular I have been scraping recent home purchases from the property appraisers sites by using imacros; everything was going good until i got stuck at this county's site:

Here is the search function on the site:

Now the problem with this site that I haven't encounterd elsewhere; I have been searching by date ranges and sale price leaving all other fields blank.
On this particular site when I try to do that; It asks me for a subdivision or folio number. It won't let you leave the field blank!
Now I thought; "OK i will just use a wildcard" - I am not sure what the proper wildcard is for this.
Its not *
When I enter % it gives me:

But when i enter %abc% - it will give me every subdivision that includes an a and b and c.
my question: how do i get the database to list all subdivision using a wildcard or some other command.
:damnit1::damnit1::damnit1: please help
