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.

Sigrid
