By wildcard searching, you must mean prefix searching--it's the only fuzzy
method that recognizes the "*" character (twhich is the default
prefix_match_character). You can switch to substring matching, but then
you won't want to use "*" in the query. Full regex searching is available
in 3.2.

This was mentioned previously. Set the minimum_word_length attribute.
