I saw this page and believed it.

But try in (e.g.) de.wikipedia:

> No regular expressions or wildcards
> You cannot use regular expressions or wildcards such as ? or *. 

Try searching 
Baumb*
You will get:
- Baumbergebahn
- Baumblütenfest
- and so on

RegExp I did not try.


In 1.8.2 I doesnŽt.

> ... To search for pages with the words 
> "boat" or "boats" search like this: "boat or boats".

in oour 1.8.2 it looks for:
boat
or
boats


Even thatŽs why I asked, docu and/or reality seem to be inconsistent.
