--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Text search using glob() sytle "wildcard" syntax was implemented for bug 72196
[1] and compatibility with MS Excel products.

Otherwise IIUC Search and our Regex implementation is provided by ICU libs.

They are completely different search implementations. Personally I see no
reason to go back in and adjust the search logic or resulting pointer--but
others can decide that.

@Eike?
