I'm sorry I'm late to this discussion, but I read the whole thread and was
surprised that nobody suggested this.
In DSLIST in ISPF level 5.8 I can use the line command SFE to invoke
SUPERC extended search-for.
Here are the screens:
First enter the SFE line command next to the PDS:
. Menu Options View Utilities Compilers Help
. ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
. DSLIST - Data Sets Matched in list JCL
. Command ===>
.
. Command - Enter "/" to select action
. ----------------------------------------------------
. sfe BOLAN.MY.JCL
Then give it the search string and options:
. Menu Functions Confirm Utilities Help
.
. Essssssssssssssssssssssss MEMBER LIST Srchfor
Options ssssssssssssssssssssssssN .
. e e .
. e Command ===> e
.
. e e .
. e You are about to search the members of the
data set(s) specified. e .
. e Specify search string(s) and options and
press ENTER to run the search. e .
. e Enter the END or the CANCEL command to cancel
the search. e .
. e More: + e .
. e ==> aopprint e .
. e ==> e .
. e ==> e .
. e ==> e .
. e ==> e .
. e ==> e .
. e e .
. e Listing DSN: 'BOLAN.SRCHML.LIST' e .
. e e .
. e Select Process Options with / Select Output

. e / Set EDIT FIND string /

. e F1=Help F2=start F3=Exit
F7=Backward F8=Forward e .
. e F9=swapnext F10=Actions F12=Cancel
e .
.
DsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssM
.
. F1=Help F2=start F3=Exit F4=ASCII
F5=Rfind F6=REFRESH .
. F7=Up F8=Down F9=next F10=Left
F11=Right F12=Cancel .
Then you can see the listing for results:
VIEW BOLAN.SRCHML.LIST

==MSG> your edit profile using the command RECOVERY ON.

000006 P65507C 1 6
000007 P13862I2 1 9
and, if you selected "filter list" as I did, when you back out of the
listing, you
see just the members with hits:
. Menu Functions Confirm Utilities Help .
.
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
.
. DSLIST BOLAN.MY.JCL String(s) found .

11:32:23 BOLAN .
. **End** .
. .
And if you want to search multiple PDS's, again start from DSLIST and
enter the SRCHFOR command
on the command line:
. Menu Options View Utilities Compilers Help .
.
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Oh, and since the question was about wildcards, consider using the "C"
option in the SRCHFOR arguments.
Here's the help you get if you press PF1 on the field for the search
arguments:
SRCHFOR strings definitions
A string to be searched for in the data sets.
WORD, PREFIX, SUFFIX, and C (continuation) may
be used. For example:
==> MY
==> STRING C
Finds all occurrences of MY and STRING on the
same line. Omitting C finds all lines with MY or
STRING.
Consider the use of the Any Case option for case
insensitive searches. Otherwise strings must
match exactly.
