            Bug ID: 118076
           Summary: HELP: WILDCARDS term is used like REGEX
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: miguelangelrv at libreoffice.org

Like in  

Wildcards is in the Title of
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.1/en-US/text/swriter/guide/search_regexp.html?DbPAR=WRITER#bm_id3150099,
but the explanation seems about regular expressions, what I think can confuse
users, at the bottom of the page there is link 'List of wildcards' that links
to a page with the right title 'List of regular expression'. 

In calc there is an option to select wildcards or regular expression or none.
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice calc - Calculation.

Difference between wildcards and regex can be founded in the help about those
options
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.1/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01060500.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3154420

Wildcards in calc was implemented by Eike for compatibility with excel, in fact
when an excel file is open wildcards option it's automatically selected.

In writer only regex are available, not wildcards.

Term regex - regular expression should be used instead and wildcards only like
they are in calc help about wildcards selection or should be in calc's help
about search and replace.
