http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3935 ------- Comment #1 from doerre@de.ibm.com 2007-01-12 16:53 ------- We do not have escaping syntax for wildcards. We did not consider this an important use case, since the characters used for wildcarding are not likely to be searched and many implementations will choose not to support searching them. If you have a query where you want to search for such characters and want to use wildcards as well you would need to split query terms apart to be able to use "with wildcard" and "without wildcard" as appropriate. E.g. if you want to match * literally in "A*B.{2,3}C*D" you could write: ("A*" without wildcard) && ("B.{2,3}C" with wildcard) && ("*D" without wildcard) distance at most 0 ordered If you think escaping wildcards is important we have to reopen the discussion.
