Now two feature questions about 2.0. Is there any possibility that
the advanced search might support wildcards? That way if a user needs
to change, say, x^{<letter>} to x_{<letter>} for various possible

Advanced search supports regexes. Much more powerful than wildcards.
I can confirm that, with the support for regular expressions, the
advanced search capability allows for searching something like x^{.*}.
See also this video for a few usage examples:

However, if I understand what you're saying, the feature you are asking
for would require the support for backward references into the replaced
text, something that is not implemented yet (however it is planned).
Though, backward references in the searched text are supported (e.g.,
you can search for duplicate words).
