I tried to search a manpage with an asterix and surprisely it returns a
manpage.
The man(1) page says:
SYNOPSIS
man [mansect] page ...
$ man -w 'm*n'
/usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz
$ man -a -w '*[nM]*[nN]*'
/usr/share/man/man1/continue.1.gz
/usr/local/man/man1/FvwmBanner.1.gz

On debian I get a result as expected:
