But MrZenWiz was asking about *asterisks*. "Asterisk" is the name for this '*'. This star is a so-called wild card and can represent one or more letters in a word (or serch term) like libreoffice-* This will return libreoffice-base libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc and so on. FYI, the question mark '?' is another wildcard, that usually represents exactly one letter in a word / search term. I hope, I could help.
