The search line must contain at least one word from 4 or more characters.

||
|
|
* "Wildcards" - the search line contains a Unix-like template. Such template can contain wildcard symbols `?` (matches any one character), `*` (matches any characters number) or ranges of characters `[...]` To find characters `?`, `*`, `[` and `]` it should be escaped by backslash like `\?`, `\*`, `\[`, `\]`.
