The man page says: By default, patterns are taken to be substrings to search for. If at least one non-escaped globbing metacharacter (*, ? or []) is given, that pattern is instead taken to be a glob pattern (which means it needs to start and end in * for a substring match). If --regexp is given, patterns are instead taken to be (non-anchored) POSIX basic regular expressions, and if --regex is given, patterns are taken to be POSIX extended regular expressions. All of this matches mlocate(1) behavior. > I can't report this issue upstream because the git repo is on ipv6 > only. That's fine, I am upstream. You don't need git to report bugs, though. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: https://www.sesse.net/
