Wildcard matching

The search line can use wildcard or glob symbols for matching words.

Wildcard Description
? Matches any single character.
* Matches zero or more of any characters.
[abc] Matches one character given in the bracket.
[a-c] Matches one character from the range given in the bracket.
[!abc] Matches one character that is not given in the bracket.
[!a-c] Matches one character that is not from the range given in the bracket.
\ Escaping wildcard symbols, e.g. \? to search ?

!!! note The wildcard symbol in the first character leads to scanning of every dictionary's every word and may take a long time.

More information about wildcard matching can be found in Wikipedia's glob article.
