Default use of wildcards

Hi!

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(FIND("6-",A1:A4)))*(C1:C4="ok")*(B1:B4="c-25"))

Does anyone know how to use wildcards properly in a formula. For example
(=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A4="6-*")*(C1:C4="ok")*(B1:B4="c-25")). Where "6-*" would
be anywhere the entry in cells A1:A4 begins with the number 6.
