How to you use wildcards, especially the * (star) in Linux Ubuntu Nautilus GUI File Search?
I also was just struggling with this issue, but I think I found an answer.

I think I FINALLY figured this out, after years of trying... sigh. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41704 Title: wildcards should work with the search feature Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I get no results when i search on NTFS with nautilus.
