Hi Arianna, Thank you for this "no space" tip as it actually works. For others, I asked about a method of dictating a search query such as *.MP3 and have it automatically entered as is without spaces. I have solved half of my problem and still can't figure out how to use the dictation to enter the asterisk symbol rather than the word "asterisk." It might be due to my build as I'm about 2 updates behind on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Those using an iPhone can actually do this, so again, it might be isolated to the iPod Touch 5th gen and or it's older build.
