 * I am using the WordPress plugin “Search and Replace”, and I don’t understand 
   how wildcards work.
    An example: looking for ‘2015/11/logo_aadc_fb.png’ I get
   20 results in 37 tables. When I look for ‘2015/11/*.png’ I expect at least the
   20 results I got earlier, but I get only 8. What am I missing?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwildcard-problem%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The plugin don’t supports wildcars. We haven’t also no plan to implement this.
   The focus of the plugin is more for low level users, there have no idea how wildcards
   works.
    Best.
