Disallow rule in the robots file

Question

Disallow: /*?

For a website which has this in the robots.txt file. I am presuming all will be blocked before the ?.

Is this true? All levels/folder before the /? ?

Answer 1

That rule would block every URL that contains a query string. So it would block http://www.example.com/foo.html?name=bar, but it would not block http://www.example.com/foo.html.
