Summary: Search wildcards use spans words and verses

Initial Comment:
In the Handbook: 'Searching in works / Search
configuration / Basic Search Syntax Introduction' it is
written: You can use wildcards: '*' matches any
sequence of characters, while '?' matches any single
character. 

I tried this out by searching for s*d in the GermElb1905
The result shows (e.g. GEN 1), that this search is not
limited by word-boundaries: It looks for a character s
and then for a character d in any of the following
words. And the characters between s and d are sometimes
marked in yellow, sometimes not. In addition, the
results are not systematic, there are verses, where a s
is followed by a d, but which is not marked as result. 

Trying this out with searching for w*z in GermElb1905,
the result GEN 10:29-30 shows, that the sequence
seperated by * can span several verses.

-> let wildcards only work within words.
