If you input anything with a wildcard (unnecessary since it matches partials by default, I know) into the search box returns results with a search term truncated by one character.
Example:
Search for ASK*
Result: Get matches for anything containing "AS"

Seems a feature, not a bug to me. The expression now just matches anything containing the sequence AS followed by zero or more Ks, and is in this case equivalent to just using "AS". The * in a regular expression just is used differently than the * in e.g. a filename match.
