Here is another example to show you what is happening....

[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ ls
stuff  test  test1  test2

[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ cat stuff
tes
te
te*

[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ grep te stuff
tes
te
te*

[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ grep te* stuff
[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$

But if I change to a directory which contains no files....

[egreshko@meimei test-dir]$ cd .hidden

[egreshko@meimei .hidden]$ ls

[egreshko@meimei .hidden]$ grep te* ../stuff
tes
te
te*
