I have been using Google advanced search operators like intext:, inurl, intitle, etc. And I know that when search in Google we can use * as a wildcard operator.

But I have tried to used * as the wildcard operator in advance search operators. As a example intext:scien* to search words like science, scientific, etc. And it seems to be not working.

Can anyone please tell me how to use wildcards in Google advanced search operators?
