Pardon my enthusiasm, I just found out that wildcard search was now available in Goldendict !

Couldn't find any documentation here or there though. Are there any explanations of how it works available ?

In the meantime, I did this (based on my old example there) :



And the winner is... the search with no spaces ! Also, accidental two spaces seems to be a bad idea.

It is just unix-like wildcards search in dictionary headwords. Supported wilcards are shown in tooltip for input line.

Oh ! Well, thanks for the tip, Abs62 !

Reposting my screencap which disappeared from the original message:


But I am sorry to report wildcard search seems to be finding less stuff now:

(just one example, I don't have time to document the whole thing at the moment, sorry)

Why is it finding fewer results? Is there any way we can go back to the previous behavior? And if not ... when did this behavior change... ie what version of Goldendict should I go back to if I want this back?

Thank you!
