Yes.
function legalSearchChars() {
return "A-Za-z_'*0-9\\x80-\\xFF\\-";
}
It looks like this string is treated as a class in a regular expression in the
filter function.
It would be more practical to parameterize this is DefaultSettings.php for
those who wish to modify without changing code.
Let me know if you encounter any side affects.

Hi Maurice,
Looks really useful, do we place the "*" in this function:
function legalSearchChars() {
return "A-Za-z_'0-9\\x80-\\xFF\\-";
}
If so where and how, otherwise, which one please.
Thanks,
Andrew

Subject: RE: [Mediawiki-l] mediawiki 1.4 & 1.5rc4, substring search,
how?
Did a little experimenting on my local install and here's my findings. Note,
I'm using mysql db.
Enabling the following debug flags helps display the pertinent content:
$wgDebugComments = true;
$wgDebugDumpSql = true;
Under ../includes/SearchMySQL.php contains the following function:
function searchText( $term ) {
$resultSet = $this->db->resultObject( $this->db->query(
$this->getQuery(
$this->filter( $term ), true ) ) );
return new MySQLSearchResultSet( $resultSet, $this->searchTerms );
}
Basically, filter() (in SearchEngine.php) defines what is a legal character.
Modify this constant to allow '*'. Now
wildcards matches work.
Also, see

details
about full text sql queries in MySQL.
