noir’.

Yes, but in this case the wildcard is inside the expression.
The example you give in the doc suggests that putting * in the end of an expression has a meaning. Currently it has not.

In the search window of Word you have an option "Find whole words only".
The behaviour you implemented is what Word does when the option is not checked. The behaviour I describe is what happens when the option is checked.

If you really want to be consistent with Word (and also Notepad, etc.) you should add a checkbox.

fine for me and consistent with what one gets in a word processor.

And if we add the checkbox and keep it checked out by default?
