Type the name of the object to be searched for.
Several characters have special meaning in this field.
These characters are * ? [
When these characters appear in this field, they have
the following behavior:
* Matches any string of characters.
? Matches any single character.
[...] Matches any one of the enclosed characters. A
pair of characters separated by - matches any
character alphabetically between the pair,
inclusive. If the first character after the [
is the ! character, any character not enclosed
in the brackets is matched.
These special characters can be combined in many ways.
For example:
g will find all objects named g.
g* will find all objects starting with g.
(e.g. g1 great good.job)
*g will find all objects ending with g.
(e.g. jog ming rug dg)
g? will find all objects starting with g whose
names are exactly 2 characters long.
(e.g. g1 g2 gd gp)
?g will find all objects ending with g whose
names are exactly 2 characters long.
(e.g. 1g 2g dg pg)
g?? will find all objects starting with g whose
names are exactly 3 characters long.

with g, whose names are exactly 3 characters
long. (e.g. rug rag rig)

a, b or c. (e.g. also bag craft)
[f-k]* will find all objects starting with any of
the letters f, g, h, i, j or k.
