--- Comment #3 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
This has nothing to do with Wildcard search, the document has Regular
Expressions enabled.

This is not a bug. One has to understand how regular expressions work.
Specifically the ? and * operators can not be used the same as in wildcards.

3?5 means zero or one 3 followed by one 5. For the sequence "345" this matches
only 5.

3*5 means zero or more 3 followed by one 5. For the sequence "345" this matches
only 5.

For the available metacharacters, operators and set expressions in ICU and thus
LibreOffice see http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings/regexp
