When I use 0.9.3 "general search" supports wildcard search in the form 
of regular expressions. The single character wildcard is just a dot. For 
example, if I search for gen.ral, it could find general. If you want 
zero or more matches use .*, for example g.*l could find general. 
However, escaped characters don't seem to work for me. Also, wildcard 
(regular expressions) don't work in the "identifier" search mode (you 
must enter the exact name of the identifer).
