* helps you to search specific string

Example:

*a - filters string begins with 'a'

*word*- search for particular string

a*- filters string ends with a

I think you got me wrong. First of all you probably have a typo

*a - ends with a

a* - begins with a....

But I want to find the words with "*" symbol inside. For example I have value like "15*3", where * means multiplication

I have field that contains names of pipes. Values consist of diameter and cross-section.

For example "6*15" means pipe with 6 diameter and 15 cross-section
