Incidentally, it is inappropriate for the settings:
Search criteria = and <> must apply to whole cells
...and...
Enable regular expressions in formulas
...to be in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > Calculate, because that makes
them pretty much global. If a person has them turned off and then turns them on
because of one spreadsheet, all that person's other spreadsheets could
potentially no longer work properly. If a pharmacist or an engineer is using a
spreadsheet to calculate drug doses or structural member sizes, that change
could kill someone. That is unacceptable in any scenario. Remember, wrong
answers are worse than crashes and system slowdowns. If wildcards are not a
per-formula feature, they are not be usable/useful.

If something can cause wrong or unexpected answers but is not a bug, then it
must be intentional, but it is still a problem. Whether this is a design
problem or a bug remains to be seen, but the problem has not been resolved and
needs to be.
