Patterns in PerlMonks Searches
Neither search method supports any kind of patterns!
Do not be tempted to try a regex, or anything remotely like one.
Not even wildcards!
No, all strings are interpreted as plain, simple strings.
Search/SuperSearch simply look for these strings occurring anywhere
in the title or body. (Search looks only in titles; SuperSearch looks
in titles or bodies, as you choose.)
No word boundaries are inferred, either.
And all searching is case-insensitive.
Note that, in SuperSearch, the default string separator is space,
but this can be changed. In Quick Search, this default cannot be
overridden.
