How to you use wildcards, especially the * (star) in Linux Ubuntu

Windows: "win*.dll"
Nautilus: "wi
This still happens in Ubuntu 15.10 and is very confusing. I first
thought that the search is not working at all until I for some reason

If nautilus doesn't support de-fact standard for searching filesystems,
it should at least warn user when user attempts to use wildcard (and

I was trying to collect all the screenshots off of my desktop and found that

it appears the same issue is the cause of the following weirdness:
an "*mp3" search string works fine in Places > "Search for Files", but it
doesn't work at all in the integrated nautilus search.
Quite confusing for people coming from Windows (and for me as well! :)
