Yeah, I think that's the "*" from the partial-completion style in completion-styles. (info "(emacs)Completion Styles") > Any idea how I may change this behaviour to search > by regex? I'm not aware of a built-in completion style that offers that, but I haven't used built-in completion for years. Ivy and, if I recall correctly, Helm support regexps. I'd guess other third-party frameworks do too.
