* "Wildcards" - xpaian "wildcard" mode, which means it only supports the prefix wildcards like "hell*"(in English alike language).As CJK use NGRAM term generator,the `*` should be treated as a seperator while not quoted.

!!! note
The dictionary will index for full-text search in background and started immediately after program start, name of the currently indexing dictionary is displayed in the status line. This process can take a long time and require many computing resources.You may turn off indexing for huge dictionaries like Wikipedias or Wiktionaries in preferences. To find dictionary which can't be indexed check GoldenDict with `--log-to-file` or check `stdout`.
