Underscores in Marketo - Naming convention

[Anonymous]

"I’ve found underscores unnecessary. Underscores also confuse the Marketo search function such that My_Program_Name cannot be found unless you actually type in“My_” at a minimum, instead of “My”.

This is taken from a guide I purchased..

Is this still the case or did Marketo fix this? I've never had this issue and we've been using underscores without issue since I've been here.

I use underscores extensively, a habit from my deep Unix roots.

Supposing you have assets starting with "My_" a search as "My" returns all asssets starting with "My" no matter the next character is an underscore, a space or another character.

The search is similar to the wild character * (asterisk) in Unix/Mac and Microsoft, representing zero or more characters.
