Single asterisk behaviour

See original GitHub issue

I seem to get odd results when using the single asterisk wildcard *. For example, let’s take the following string:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Shockwave 12

The pattern *ave 12 matches, as expected, but *ave*2 (which uses 2 asterisks) does not, neither doe Shock* 12 (which uses a single asterisk, but not as the first character in the pattern).

Is this the expected behaviour? If so, what’s the rationale behind it?
